Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2022 is 'Veri Peri' and it's here to illuminate self-expression

• For 23 years, Pantone's color of the year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries.

• It is a first for Pantone to create a new colour that encompasses qualities of blues, yet at the same time possessing a violet-red undertone.

• The hue is all about displaying carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative, inquisitive and intriguing spirit.

• We've put together our favourite red carpet, streetstyle and runway looks from 2021, when similar colours to 'Veri Peri' prepared us for this colour takeover.
