“A warm and cozy shade highlighting our desire for togetherness with others and the feelings this creates, Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz presents a fresh approach to a new softness,” Pantone writes in their announcement. “Subtly sensual, Pantone 13-1023 Peach Fuzz is a heartfelt peach hue bringing a feeling of tenderness and communicating a message of caring and sharing, community, and collaboration.”
