Not the hot sauce, folks…but the cool color of 2022, according to the color expert, Pantone.
Ready to transform your wardrobe with the cool purple called Very Peri? Before you know it, you will!
But first, my personal thoughts:
Is very peri a glorified lavender with a touch of lilac and a tiny drop of mauve. Mauve appears to carry a bit of warmth (if you and I are seeing the same color). While eyeballing the screen at the Pantone color of 2022, I can’t help but to feel rather soothed by the pale purple shade that leans on the cool spectrum color temperament. But when I think of the word Peri, I think of that hot sauce Peri-Peri. Then, I just get hungry. Apparently the Peri is referencing to the short form of Periwinkle but I don’t ever use that in my speaking language unless I want to sound like I’m putting on airs.
Very Peri isn’t periwinkle at all. It’s a light purple that errs on the cool range. Think more blue, less red.
Without a doubt, it’s a calming shade. It reminded me of my brother’s childhood room. Mine was painted a dark gaudy blue because I thought that was very soothing. It’s repainted yellow now and I’m taking solace in that it’s not cave dark in there anymore.
What was the topic again? Oh yes: very peri. It’s safe to say I will not be using the term in my speaking language whilst among sensible laypeople. We just call it soft purple, baby purple, light purple. Anything other than very peri. Insert self-satisfied emoji.
But that doesn’t mean this post is without imagery! Here are some stunning (hopefully) Very Peri dresses for you draw inspiration from:
