In previous years, the color has been chosen from their extensive archives but this year’s color is completely new. A new era is in need of a new color. As Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Institute said, “There is just no question that gaming influenced the continued usage of Very Peri.” The emphasis on the high-contrast hues found in the metaverse and gaming platforms is undeniable (just do a google image search with metaverse) butt we also see associations with the natural world. Lilac, lavender, and periwinkle are all notable for their calming qualities.

Despite its video game origins, Very Peri can exude a look of quiet luxury when paired with neutrals like cream and earthy beige and browns. As shown in these photos, choosing one oversized piece — a jacket, sweater or wide-legged pants —adds to the relaxed and polished look.

Very Peri is certainly a fun and vibrant color. Lean into the youthful spirit by pairing it unapologetically with pastels like pink, mint green, and baby blue. Keep it in solids or with large scale prints to avoid looking too baby-ish.
