After a tough couple of years, we all could use a hug. Feeling the need for connection, PANTONE has chosen 13-1023 Peach Fuzz as their Color of the Year. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute™, Peach Fuzz is “a shade that resonates with compassion, offers a tactile embrace, and effortlessly bridges the youthful with the timeless.”

We found locally sold home goods, a peachy keen custom flower arrangement, and asked a bartender to make us a drink, to help celebrate this softly social shade.
