With every new year, comes the Pantone Colour Of The Year. And 2022 is no different. But a far cry from the yellow and grey of 2021, say hello to the cheery Very Peri, which according to Pantone, encourages personal inventiveness and creativity. They actually created this new colour, unlike before when colours already existed. But we'll be honest, for the amateurs like us, we’re going to describe this as a bold-ish purple with flashes of Periwinkle blue, lilac, lavender and hints of the purple that the elusive Heart-Shaped Herb from Wakanda is. Works? Yes? Yes! So with that in mind, here’s our pick of all things Very Peri (ish) which you can get your hands on so you stay on trend for this year’s colour of the year!
Here's Everything We Found In Pantone's 2022 Colour Of The Year - Very Peri
Very Peri Adidas x Pharell Williams Superstars
With roots in GenZ’s culture - especially video games, it’s no surprise that there’s already Very Peri coloured Adidas shoes. It’s less surprising that this unisex pair is in collaboration with Pharrel Williams. The adidas Superstar shoes are known to be synonymous with cultural shifts and none better than the multifaceted Pharrell Williams to embody that! These shoes have a unique rubber shell toe, made from Primeknit making it super lightweight and pretty versatile. But if you’re looking for something more beach-worthy (ladies), then these Caucho flip flops should do it.
Reusable Glass Straws By Nestasia
We love these glass straws from Nestasia. Not only stylish and aligned with the colour of 2022 but also an eco-friendly option! They are reusable and come in a set of 4 with a cleaning brush, so it’s super easy to clean as well. Even if you don't want to adopt the colour in a big way, it's a great way to show you know your trends because in 2022, Very Peri and sustainability are what everybody's talking about!

Kiko Milano Smart Colour Eyeshadow
This eyeshadow by Kiko Milano boasts about its colour payoff and revolutionary formula. It’s a soft creamy powder sort of texture that’s very buildable and blendable. Its packaging is super handy and travel-friendly too, and it's pretty reasonable too all things considered. And this colour has come right on time with the 2022's Pantone colour of the year!
Paradyes Peri Peri Hairdye
What better way to flaunt the colour of the year than through your hair! Vegan, cruelty-free, natural and free of Ammonia, Peroxide, Parabens, and Sulfates, Birds Of Paradyes has come out with Peri Peri (no not the spice!) inspired by 2022's Pantone colour of the year. If your previous bleach-dye job has faded and you're looking for something fresh, current, but also vibrant it's the best time to try this shade. It fades into a lilac, so if you love pastels too, this is Very Peri(ish) option a gift that keeps on giving!
Candy Sling Bag By Nidash
This super adorable vegan leather bag by Nidash should be in your closet whether you're looking to bag something in Very Peri or not! This candy sling is perfect for your wallet, shades, and sundry must-haves when you step out. The Periwinkle shade goes nicely with the grey and the buckle detailing is a playful addition to the bag too.

Anar Vase Set Of 2 By Weaving Homes
Add a bit of lavender to your home this new year with this set of gorgeous vases set in the shape of an anar (pomegranate). We love the little golden crown at the top and the colour is as Insta-worthy as it can get. Plus, you are getting two for INR 1,199 making this a very good deal. These vases are made from ceramic and are a perfect addition to the work desk, coffee table, or even your dining table.
Please note that some of these shades are similar to the colour and some may look like purple because of the screen resolution.
