In a surprising turn of events, Pantone has unveiled its 2024 Color of the Year, and it’s not just a mere shade; it’s a political manifesto in pastels.

The finalists read like a twisted rainbow of Filipino political chaos: pink for the Pinklawan warriors, red for the Marcos loyalists, and black for the Die-hard Dutertes (DDS). The nation held its breath, awaiting the hue that would encapsulate the peculiar spectrum of Philippine politics. Lo and behold, Pantone went with peach, a color as subtle as the political maneuvering behind the scenes.

Peach, apparently inspired by the impeachment moves against Vice President Sara Duterte, symbolizes the delicate balance between power and peaches. Because when life gives you political turmoil, make a fruit salad? The Pantone Color of the Year 2024: where shades meet shades of political drama, proving once again that in the Philippines, even colors have political affiliations.
