PEACH FUZZ, Pantone’s 2024 Color of the Year

“

each fuzz” may bring to mind those soft little hairs that help to regulate body temperature while protecting your skin. Or, perhaps your first thought is of the skin of an actual peach, whose tiny hairs separate it from its stone fruit cousin, the nectarine. But for the next year — at least — those in interior design, fashion, merchandising, and more will likely associate peach fuzz with the “compassionate and nurturing soft peach shade conveying a heartfelt kindness” that Pantone, the global color authority, chose as its 2024 Color of the Year. PANTONE 131023 Peach Fuzz also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual distinction. A soft, pinky-orange hybrid that

looks like it would be at home in the sherbet section of the local ice cream shop, Peach Fuzz is a warm and welcoming hue that offers a “cozy sensibility (that) brings people together and enriches the soul,” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. The color that “echoes our innate yearning for closeness and connection,” per Pantone’s news release announcing the Color of the Year, is the latest to reflect the zeitgeist. Pantone’s 2023 selection, the vibrant red, Viva Magenta, spoke to “optimism and joy,” tickling the rebellious spirit and taking Barbiecore to an even more bold and saturated level. In 2022, Very Peri’s newly created hue — a first for Pantone’s Color of the Year — was released at a critical period of post-COVID-19 isolation, illustrating “the fusion of modern life and how color trends in the digital world are being manifested in the physical world and vice versa”. The year prior, dual Colors of the Year, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, spoke to “deeper feelings of thoughtfulness and optimism.” Per Pantone, this year’s choice recognizes that, “at a time of turmoil in many aspects of our lives, our need for nurturing, empathy and compassion grows ever stronger as does our imaginings of a more peaceful future.” The company also

Designs on Peach Fuzz Peach Fuzz’s “fresh approach to a new softness,” is twofold: the hue itself is far more subtle and neutral than is typical for Pantone in recent years (2016’s Rose Quartz excepted). You have to go back another decade to find 2006’s creamy Sand Dollar. The potential application is also a departure; Is it really Peach Fuzz if it’s not tactile, as in a textured wall-covering, fabric, or design accent? “Introducing soft and cozy PANTONE 131023 Peach Fuzz into home interiors creates a welcoming ambiance…promoting feelings of gentle warmth whether appearing on a painted wall, in home décor, or acting as an accent within a pattern,” says Pantone. In the coming months, you can expect to see a profusion of Peach Fuzz as Pantone’s influence trickles down to design and manufacturing. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the company’s partnership with home decor brands Ruggable and Spoonflower.

sought a color for 2024 that “reflected our feeling for days that seemed simpler but at the same time has been rephrased to display a more contemporary ambiance.”

Ruggable’s limited-edition capsule collection showcases the hue in three indoor rugs, a doormat, and a bathmat, in various sizes. Spoonflower, known for its print-on-demand wallpaper, home decor and fabric, is unveiling brand-new designs by three independent artists featuring the Color of the Year.

AROUNDTHEWORLD

CampI TAanLYia Summer is coming up, and for those of you lucky enough to be spending time in Italy this summer, we encourage you to consider visiting Campania, a region on the southwest coast of Italy.

Home to both the city of Naples and the Amalfi coast, the region boasts stunning coastlines, ancient ruins, and the infamous Mount Vesuvius, the eruption of which decimated the ancient city of Pompeii. The remains of the city are just one of ten UNESCO World Heritage sites in the region that you can visit. For culinary buffs, you will not want to miss the pizza in Naples either. Neapolitan pizza has earned UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status, making it an absolute must when you visit the third largest city in Italy. “Naples is a cultural melting pot where art, history, and food come together to create a unique and authentic experience,” declares Alessandro Moscariello, the Broker/Owner of Coldwell Banker 24RE. He continues, “whether you’re strolling along the historic streets of the old town, enjoying the panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples from Castel dell’Ovo, or indulging in the city’s world-renowned cuisine, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant and

dynamic city.” So please, envision yourself exploring the streets of Naples, basking in the sunshine in Positano, and indulging in as much pizza as humanly possible as you read on about one of the newest Coldwell Banker locations in Italy!

Tell us about the foods your area is known for: Naples is known for its excellent cuisine, but especially for its traditional pizza. The culinary tradition is vast and ranges from buffalo mozzarella to good fresh fish, to ragù, to typical desserts such as pastiera, Babà and sfoglietella, curly or shortcrust? The choice is yours! Where do you recommend someone vacation in your region, why: It is very difficult to answer, there are so many beautiful places to live in Campania: – Naples, the oldest western capital – the coasts of Sorrento and Amalfi – islands such as Capri, Procida and Ischia – and last but not least the Cilento, natural, wild and free.

INDUSTRY FACTS Share a little known but interesting fact about the area/region Everyone knows that coffee is one of the most famous elements of the Neapolitan tradition. The suspended coffee is an ancient and generous Neapolitan custom consisting in leaving the Bar paid for a coffee for an unknown person who, so, although not being able to afford it, can, however, drink it. A great connoisseur of Neapolitan things like Luciano De Crescenzo has happily grasped the spirit of suspended coffee: “when a Neapolitan is happy for some reason he decides to offer a coffee to a stranger because it is like offering a coffee to the rest of the world”.

My wife and I worked with Annel Verdugo de Vargas from Coldwell Banker West. She was referred to us by my wife’s co-worker, which ended up being one of the best referrals we’ve had. Annel was extremely helpful throughout the entire process — she made ﬁnding and buying our ﬁrst home a great experience. Annel was prompt with her paperwork and explaining what things were, which helped me make the best choices. I never had a problem getting in contact with her and she would always be easy to talk with. I am very happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone. - Ricardo, Chula Vista

Annel is definitely a hard charger! She puts the “real” in Realtor! Every single concern and/or question was answered in detail. She made sure my exact needs for my purchase were met. She understood who I was and exactly what I wanted, and in the end, because of her, I got exactly what I wanted! I am more than satisfied with my experience working with Annel. Highly recommend! She will definitely be the first person I think of when any of my friends or colleagues are looking for a place... I will refer them directly to her because I know that she will go above and beyond to ensure their specific home buying needs are met! Thank you again, Annel. I’m in love with my new home! - Daris L., Chula Vista
