So Peachy

Like sun-kissed cheeks after that first glass of rosé, Pantone Color of the Year Peach Fuzz at once radiates tender and timeless. “Subtly sensual,” the velvety soft pinkish-orange shade feels like a gentle hug in cozy season while emanating a soft sunny vibe that ushers in warmth year-round.

“Farrow and Ball’s Faded Terracotta is my favorite peach shade. Peaches can be hard sometimes because you don’t want them to be too pink, too red or too orange—it has to be that perfect combo. I think peach can make a room not only feel lively, but it has a calming and grounding effect with its warm undertones. Peach also can be used with so many colors, and one of my favorite combinations is peach with a warm turquoise/green. If you’re looking for a calmer palette, peach looks amazing with grays and browns. This particular shade from Farrow and Ball really makes a statement with a dark red or calming blueish gray—there are so many different moods you can create with peach color pairings.”
