For over 20 years, the Pantone ‘Colour of the Year’ has been a highly anticipated announcement by many (including us here at Allwag), because of the way it influences the world of design, fashion, and retail. | |
So, we are pleased to announce that the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2022 is Very Peri (not to be mistaken for ‘Peri Peri’). Very Peri is a member of the blue colour family, with undertones of violet and red and is described by Pantone as “displaying a carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit, inquisitive and intriguing PANTONE 17-3938. Very Peri helps us to embrace this altered landscape of possibilities, opening us up to a new vision as we rewrite our lives”. | |
“The Pantone Colour of the Year reflects what is taking place in our global culture, expressing what people are looking for that colour can hope to answer.” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute*. | |
These past couple of years have been unlike any other, and with the announcement of two colours for 2021, we had no doubt that the colour selected for 2022 would have to bring just as much excitement and boldness. | |
To utilise this bold colour in your promotional merchandise, why not opt for a product that we can Pantone match to Very Peri? Click on the products below for more information! |

Tech Tuesday: USB C ports. What you need to know!
This week we are looking at one of the areas of technology that has been moving rapidly over the last few years, and one which will continue to change many of our gadgets and how we use / interact with them in the future…. The USB-C plug. At first glance, it looks similar to a micro-USB connector, but it is more oval in shape and slightly thicker to accommodate its best feature: flippability (unlike its USB predecessors, it's also flippable—so you don't need to try three times to plug it in).
Tech Tuesday: Personal Audio
When asked which tech gift would be their preferred gift, 56% of respondents chose Earbuds/ Headphones over a wireless charger, wireless speaker or any other tech gift**! Sales and statistics for the last few years have seen growth for personal audio to reach global sales of $35 billion (up to 2020) that’s a growth of 17% growth in units and over 55% growth in retail sales value! The sector is forecasted to grow to over 600 million units by 2024 or 76% of headphone sales*!
