Pantone Color of the Year 2025
The search for harmony permeates every aspect of our lives, our relationships, our work, our personal bonds, and the natural environment around us. Harmony not only gives us a sense of contentment, inner peace, and balance, but also a sense of being in harmony with our environment. It promotes a culture of connection and unity, as well as the interplay of our mental, spiritual, and physical well-being.
