With bright hues of blue having their moment in the spotlight, and the Pantone Colour Institute revealing ‘Very Peri’ as the Colour of the Year for 2022, we wanted to celebrate and showcase this bold and positive colour for writers who like to stay on-trend.

‘Very Peri’ is a vibrant blue purple, which Pantone’s executive director Leatrice Eiseman describes as having “a spritely, joyous attitude and dynamic presence that encourages courageous creativity and imaginative expressions”.
