Veri Peri-tty
Toward the end of last year, The Pantone Color Institute announced "very peri" as 2022's color of the year.
"As we move into a world of unprecedented change, the selection of PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri brings a novel perspective and vision of the trusted and beloved blue color family, encompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time with its violet red undertone, PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri displays a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourage courageous creativity and imaginative expressions," said executive director of The Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman in a statement.
The purple-blue hue can be worn in a variety of makeup and nail looks.
