What is Very Peri and why is it THE color of 2022?

Pantone is a leading expert in color systems and matching. For the past 22 years, they’ve had a tradition of nominating the Color of the Year, a single color that expresses the coming year trends for all designers worldwide. And 2022 is no different - this year’s color is called Very Peri.

It’s a blend of a blue hue with a red undertone and for the first time in history, instead of selecting an existing color, Pantone created a new one just for this occasion. An unprecedented move intended to reflect unprecedented times - a year where we come back from lockdowns and merge the digital world with our everyday lives. We decided to pay tribute to Very Peri by creating a special website: VeryPeri.me

About Awwwards and their recognition process

We decided to show off our work on Awwwards.com - a digital hub for innovation and creativity, gathering the best designers from around the world. We have been doing so for years and have already earned a number of honorable mentions. The award process is simple: first, we submit our website for other users to review it. They can rate it on a scale from one to ten in four categories:

  • design,
  • usability,
  • creativity,
  • content.

If the total score reaches 6.5 or above, we move on to a vote from the judges, who look closer at the technical aspects and quality of our website. Their opinion will decide if it’s worthy of an honorable mention.

We were happy to learn that our Very Peri landing page received fifteen votes from users with an overall score of 8.40. The judges concurred - and so, the honorable mention was ours!

What was it like to work on a Very Peri landing page?

I was personally involved in this project and I can tell you firsthand: it was an absolute joy watching our designers flex their creative muscles. Everyone gave 110%: from designers to front-end developers, just like any other interdisciplinary team that builds digital products for our clients. Receiving an honorable mention was a wonderful feeling, but wasn’t a surprise - because from day one we all knew that this website is going to be something special. And it turns out we were right.
