Building visual connections between people and nature.
Verbena, Viper’s Bugloss, and Chicory blooms blend reds and blues to look vibrant, yet soothing at the same time. The color of these flowers are so beautiful, but what exactly is that color called? This year, Pantone selected Very Peri, a periwinkle hue to be the 2022 color of the year!
Displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives. Rekindling gratitude for some of the qualities that blue represents complemented by a new perspective that resonates today, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri places the future ahead in a new light.

What can be found in nature that embodies this color?
Many flowers are Very Peri, and range in color from soft purples, to periwinkle-blues. These colors are attractive to pollinators and are made of a variety of anthocyanin pigments. Since anthocyanins cover a wide spectrum of red colors, there can be many subtle shifts in how these reds, purples, and soft blues can appear.
