Peach Fuzz is the new Pantone Colour of the Year – a velvety gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches mind, body and heart.
Pantone describes the new shade as being warm and cosy, highlighting our desire for togetherness with others and the feelings this creates. It represents a fresh approach to a new softness. The heartful peach hue brings a feeling of tenderness and communicates a message of caring and sharing, community and collaboration.
Marlon Hawkins, artistic director, Brooks & Brooks, London says it is the perfect warm tone for colourists. “The new Pantone Colour of the Year, Peach Fizz, is a playful, delicate tone that is so beautiful. I am obsession with warmer tones, colours and palettes and Peach Fuzz encompasses everything I love about warmer tones.
It’s soft, warm, pink, peach, violet, golden – bright yet saturated I love it!
Peach Fuzz is it a great colour for colourists because warmer colours are always softer and forgiving when doing transformation or transitions. They hold a lot more shine and richness, giving the hair an expense sheen.
When using it on clients, I personally find warmer colours the bridge between commercial and creativity. Clients aren’t afraid of colour anymore and by asking the right questions in the right order you can bring out someone’s colour palette and range in the consultation. Peach Fuzz will naturally have a complementing palette that colourists around the world will now be exploring with products such as L’Oreal Professionnel Dia Light Boosters. Let’s get swatching and switch up our mixology!
