Harmony brings feelings of contentment, inspiring a positive state of inner peace, calm, and balance and being tuned in with the world around us. Harmony embraces a culture of connection and unity and the synthesis of our mental, spiritual and physical well-being,” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “With that in mind, for Pantone Color of the Year 2025, we look to a colour that progresses our embrace of the feeling of our PANTONE Color of the Year, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, into another dimension, extending further into our desire for comfort, and the indulgence of simple pleasures that we can gift and share with others.”
