Eyestylist Exclusive: Pantone’s Very Peri for 2022

The colour of the year is “courageous”, “joyous” and “creative”

Pantone has announced their colour of the year for 2022 as Very Peri (17-3938), a completely new shade in their repertoire which they describe as “emcompassing the qualities of the blues, yet at the same time having a violet red undertone”. In a press release last week, Pantone states: “Blending the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red, this happiest and warmest of all the blue hues introduces an empowering mix of newness.” Above: Purple tones are popular in eyewear: model Ivana in Deep Purple by Nina Mûr. This variation of purple from the Madrid label has an ultra-modern chic style. www.ninamur.com

Purple hues are stunning in combination with other tones: the chic model Julia by Lafont Paris

In eyewear, bright tones of purple have long been popular – particularly as hues that mix well with others for chic, feminine combinations. The elegant Julia style is a new entry this season at Lafont Paris. The metal frame is produced in two-tone colours including the purple/chestnut tonal combination above which  is balanced and fresh – www.lafont.com
