2021 Pop Colors
Pantone 17-3938 Very Peri Peri represents the global zeitgeist and the transformation we are experiencing, with a strong sense of the future.
The official explanation goes like this:
The emergence of the epidemic has changed people's lives and thinking, which is also a symbol of the current global spirit of the times and the transformation we are experiencing. As people emerge from a period of intense isolation, perceptions and standards are changing, and physical and digital lives are merging in new ways.
The appearance of periwinkle blue is intended to cheer up the world in the epidemic situation, during which many things have stopped, but this is also the opportunity for the world to begin to accumulate, and periwinkle blue is the spiritual core of self-confidence and bold curiosity that contains worry-free worry. At the same time, the social transformation brought about by the isolation measures has also stimulated the emergence of new things such as the pixel universe and the NFT with the online virtual world as the core, and it is also in line with the spirit of exploring new things contained in the periwinkle blue.
At the same time, this is the first time that Pantone has created a new color in its trend prediction of popular colors, rather than choosing from existing color cards.

Pantone's annual color prediction has lasted for so many years and has become a pop culture phenomenon every year, but the emergence of the original color trend prediction is just a marketing campaign that Pantone opened in order to save the decline of the color industry, and it is a consumerist scam. But for us ordinary people, popular colors can not only enhance our appreciation and perception of color, but also bring pure spiritual comfort; for design industry practitioners, it can bring more creative guidance and stimulation. Periwinkle blue is a mixture of the blue of the vine periwinkle and the purple color made of fluorescent red, a unique and charming color that brings a different hope to 2022.
