Pantone Released a PowerPoint “Template” with the 4 Very Peri color schemes
I am uncertain if Pantone created this PowerPoint file or if Microsoft created it, but everyone can download a Pantone 2022 Color of the Year inspired PowerPoint template on the Microsoft Office Templates site here.
It is a set of PowerPoint slides with some slide layouts and image treatments.
The file has 4 separate Master Slides, each with one of the Pantone Very Peri inspired color schemes. But I cannot call this a “template” as it is missing too many of the fundamentals that make a PowerPoint template, a template. Aside from missing all standard layouts, each master slide is void of any styling and preset layouts that trickle down to master layouts for the master slide.
The TLC Creative design team has taken up the Pantone 2022 Color of the Year, Very Peri and developed 4 full feature PowerPoint templates, one per Pantone color scheme. Standby, each will be a free download over the next few weeks of posts!

Very Peri – Pantone’s Color of the Year
Pantone’s color of the year for 2022 is VERY PERI. Technically it is Pantone #17-3938, described as “A New Pantone Color Whose Courageous Presence Encourages Personal Inventiveness and Creativity.”
The TLC Creative Services design team agrees Very Peri is a winner and will be great for use in slide, and template design!
Even the big companies have adopted Very Peri for 2022. Check out Microsoft’s Windows 11 “Windows Bloom” re-imagined using the Pantone Color of the Year 2022 (available here).
