The annual popular color has finally arrived, and I don't know when people have become accustomed to giving colors to show the changes in the world with different meanings.
And the upcoming 2022, with the shadow and pace of 2021, at the intersection of this year and the beginning of the year, the global color research institute PANTONE announced that the popular color of 2022 is: Very Peri (periwinkle blue).
It was also the first time that Pantone had chosen a brand new color to express a meaningful ending and a wonderful beginning.
Periwinkle blue
Blue, full of firm and faithful qualities, blends vitality, vitality, creativity and imaginative fuchsia, implying reinvention and vitality, greeting and longing.
In the global environment affected by the epidemic, the calm and warm side behind this new color is used to resist the turmoil from the outside world, as well as the continuous replacement of innovation and opportunities under the tide of the new era.
In the new year, we will only get better and better
Purple in nature
Returning to the color itself, we always feel that purple is not everyday, but if we look for it in nature, it is hidden in the opening and end of each day.
With its unique mysterious dreaminess, sobriety and calmness, it soothes and inspires the heart behind a pair of eyes, sending out ancient calls from far and wide.
Summon more people to plunge into the sincerity of loving this world.
Only in this moment, purple is a testament to temperature and miracles. With a wonderful sense of layering, provoked by red halos, dyed with blue dreams, and comfortably rubbing a little of the golden edge of the sky, in a pink romance, it is hopelessly showing its charm.
When this charm falls from the sky into the embrace of nature, it is so clever and innocent.
This is also the origin of this year's periwinkle blue, taken from the color of the periwinkle, but there are some more elegant and calm mature purple tones than the periwinkle. If you look for the broader source of purple, the well-behaved lily, the lazy lavender, and the pretty iris are all its fertile soil. ▲
