“I think about how brands like Fenty Beauty have pushed the cosmetics industry to make shade ranges that include people of color, especially those with dark skin. This color, plus the skin connotation of the Peach Fuzz name, hews pretty closely to the shades worn by white people that there are no shortage of.”

Said Callie Holtermann, a member of the NYT “style” team, quoted in “Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2024 Is Peach Fuzz/Will it catch fire the way millennial pink did?” (NYT).
