Color of the Year 2024: Peach Fuzz — Why It Matters and How to Use It

Each year, a single color captures the cultural spirit of the moment. For 2024, Pantone selected Peach Fuzz — a soft, warm hue that reflects community, tenderness, and optimism. But beyond symbolism, how can this color be applied in branding and design today?

The Psychology of Peach Fuzz:

  • Warmth and approachability

  • A sense of comfort and connection

  • Gentle optimism in a complex world

How to Use It in Design:

  • Digital Media: Buttons, CTAs, highlight gradients in UI/UX.

  • Branding & Print: Packaging accents, textured backgrounds, subtle overlays.

  • Marketing Collateral: Lifestyle imagery with peach tones, photography filters, typography highlights.

Aeon Studio Tips:

  • Combine Peach Fuzz with neutral palettes (grays, off-whites) for timeless balance.

  • Pair with bold contrasts (teal, navy, emerald) to create striking modern visuals.

  • Use sparingly as an accent in corporate design — or boldly as a hero color in lifestyle branding.

Conclusion

2024 is less about chasing “what’s new” and more about redefining the familiar. For brands, the opportunity lies in balancing modern functionality with emotional resonance. These trends are not just styles — they’re strategic choices for staying relevant.
