I’m nearing 60 so I resist, but I had a ton of them in my younger days. Love.<br /> Peach is oddly really flattering on me. I have a very hard time identifying good colors on me (maybe there aren’t many, lol), but peach is obviously good. If a deep cool pink makes someone’s face look a little arctic, try peach! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347180 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 17:30:52 +0000 Ket 2347180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love oranges and peaches. If I can find a dark autumn version of it, I will try it, especially as a blouse. The exact color as shown probably wouldn't have enough saturation for me. But I like the vibe of it.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Mary Beth, </b>oh my goodness!!!<b>&nbsp;</b>I had a few Gunne Sax tops by Jessica McClintock in the 90s. I actually didn't like them at the time, sadly. And now, I wish I still had them!! At the time I was too young to appreciate them for all their glory and was too worried about fitting in with the sad trends of the times. PS I have no doubt you were sensational in peach!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347159 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 15:21:50 +0000 cat2 2347159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Marty Beth on this one, I like warm peach. I have one purse this color, and that’s about it, so will be happy if it shows up at my preferred retailers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347152 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 14:31:28 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2347152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flashback! &nbsp;I wore this color to my homecoming dance in tenth grade (1985). &nbsp;It was either Gunne Sax or Jessica McClintock, and was on deep sale, but I was wrinkling my nose because I thought, ‘orange? &nbsp;ew, I can’t wear that color’. &nbsp;But my mom said “just try it on”, and I was very surprised that the color was so good on me. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>I’m very glad to see this color make a comeback. &nbsp;Well.. I hope it makes a comeback! &nbsp;I’ve dyed a couple of button-down shirts to a similar hue over the past decade, but with a little more pink. &nbsp;(sadly, the colors eventually faded). &nbsp;I would love a cashmere or merino sweater in this color, to wear with medium-to-dark wash jeans. </p> <p>I have Tarte eye shadow and L’Oréal peach fuzz lipstick in my daily rotation, and in makeup, I find peach plays really well with coral, warm brown, and pale gold.</p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347127 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:05:35 +0000 Janet 2347127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I gotta admit, it does bring up very strong 80s vibes for me — this color featured prominently in my bedroom decor when I first moved out of my parents’ house. I had a bedspread that was mostly this color with some dusty rose and blue — sort of a watercolor-southwestern thing. It was nice then, but definitely not my thing now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347125 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 12:44:15 +0000 Helena 2347125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!! It reminds me of the 80s, I had a few peach items, either stripes with gray or I'd wear with white. Agree with others that I'm not sure these colours ever make any difference to what's available at retail ... But I will certainly keep an eye out for this colour in makeup for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347123 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:51:11 +0000 The Cat 2347123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peach is not among the colours that suit me. But a nice, pleasant colour for many people with warm colouring. </p> <p>Anyway, Pantone does not seem to have much--if any-- influence here in Scandinavia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347121 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:10:27 +0000 Star (Lise) 2347121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes&nbsp;<b>JenniNZ&nbsp;</b>totally agree.&nbsp; I have always been on the cool side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347119 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 09:04:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2347119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all colours will very much appeal to some and not others.

I am still waiting for radiant orchid!! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Please forgive me, those who like this colour. I mean -- no colour is bad, per se. Every colour is beautiful, in context, and I am sure this colour will look spectacular on some fabbers and I cheer you on.&nbsp;</p> <p>But speaking for myself, I feel. a strong and visceral dislike for it, and for me, that is extremely rare. (There are many colours I can't wear that I adore.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347111 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 03:50:23 +0000 Carla 2347111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jenni NZ - there were two blog posts on December 8th. &nbsp;I saw the Big Scarf one, but missed the Fashion Roundup (sorry Inge!).&nbsp;<div><br />@ nuancedream - you are right about polarizing! &nbsp;There was quite a debate about ‘Peach Fuzz’ on CBC (public radio) with a fashion/style consultant chiming in.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347108 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 03:02:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2347108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha Jaime!

I saw this announcement and thus picked up (at the thrift store) a pair of peach wide leg pants I would have not have otherwise considered . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347092 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 01:02:02 +0000 LaPed 2347092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not for me. Peach and salmon shades are so hard for me to wear. Too warm, too light. They look pretty terrible in my current house too — lots of warm-toned woods that do not play well with other orangey shades! </p> <p>I can see the appeal of this color in home decor especially, as it’s a luminous colour. Similar desert southwest vibe to terra cotta shades, but not as earthy/heavy. And it complements chocolate brown nicely, which seems to be the dark neutral of the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347080 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 22:27:04 +0000 Jenni NZ 2347080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pantone is not a “thing” in our country, although I might have read the very occasional article about the colour of the year here. We have a NZ paint company called Resene which has sort of captured the home decorating article market and also sponsors some fashion ideas. So they would be more influential than Pantone here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347077 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 22:19:51 +0000 Carol 2347077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a beautiful color, but I think I’d feel vulnerable in it, because it is so feminine. But now I feel challenged to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347076 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 22:18:42 +0000 rachylou 2347076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s too warm a colour for me, but I’m also not feeling it. Maybe I’m not imagining it right with other things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347072 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 21:58:14 +0000 Janet 2347072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meh. It’s not really for me, unless it’s mixed in a print with some blues or other cool colors. </p> <p>The color of the year often leaves me underwhelmed. Not sure why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347071 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 21:56:58 +0000 Roberta 2347071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it on my walls, but not in my wardrobe. It's not strong enough a hue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantone-colour-of-the-year#post-2347070 Tue, 12 Dec 2023 21:43:26 +0000 nuancedream 2347070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was not expecting Peach Fuzz to be Pantone color of the year, although I was hoping for a warmer color after a lot of violet, periwinkle, and magenta. There will be no middle ground with Peach Fuzz. You'll either like it or intensely dislike it. I really like the color. It's the only pastel I will wear. Peach Fuzz looks best in a fabrication that has texture or shine. Few, if any, Pantone colors of the year have a big impact at the retail level. </p>
