Every year Pantone releases a colour, which invariably becomes the hottest trend around the world. This year’s pick—veri peri—is a combination of the dynamic periwinkle blue along with undertones of violet. The Pantone colour of the year has historically been prevalent in the arts industry, namely fashion, decor, et al.

With the beginning of a new year, changing up the aesthetics of our immediate space could be a welcome move considering we have been spending a lot of our time indoors. “Veri Peri was created with the intention of being a colour that is carefree and joyful, and we can all use that energy in our lives. A space that is vibrant and bright can immediately put us in the best mood,” says design entrepreneur and co-founder of Curio Casa Divyansh Sanklecha.
