Pantone’s Color of the Year is always much anticipated at the turn of every year, and 2022 is no different. Very Peri, the 2022 Color of the Year, is a mix of blues and purples that “ introduces an empowering mix of newness” and “encourages personal inventiveness and creativity.” But honestly, what captured our attention is the violet undertone that reminds us of the Pinoy favorite ube! So to start off the year, let’s indulge in some Very Peri-looking ube desserts.
