PEACHY KEEN 

The Perfect Shade For Spring Into Summer

By Patricia Canole

Meet Pantone 13-1023, better known as Peach Fuzz. This gorgeous shade is like a warm hug for your senses, that’s all about embracing and enriching every part of you—mind, body, and soul.

INSPIRING & NURTURING
According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director at the Pantone Colour Institute, Peach Fuzz reflects our desire “for nurturing, empathy, and compassion.” It’s an optimistic color. Eiseman points out that the last few years have been filled with economic turmoil and global strife, causing many to reflect on their current lifestyles and make significant changes. “The past has happened; there’s no going back,” she says. “Now we’re thinking, how do we want to live our lives?” Peach Fuzz is intended to be inspiring and nurturing.” 

The best thing about Peach Fuzz is its wide availability making waves across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle products, infusing a refreshing and soothing element into wardrobes. Designers, manufacturers, and retailers have embraced this color.  

The appealing peach hue softly nestled between pink and orange inspires belonging, an opportunity for nurturing, and an air of calm. It offers us a space to be, feel, heal, and flourish. So, consider me sold. Best of all, it can be worn with far more than you’d expect. Need more proof? Peek at some of my favorite finds for the Spring into Summer.
