I note that you have commented 'Confused'.

How may I help?

I have found that r=104, g=104, b=172 works well in Affinity Designer.

I see that PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri is described as “A New Pantone Color Whose Courageous Presence Encourages Personal Inventiveness And Creativity”. As the creator of this thread, William, perhaps you’d like to demonstrate how its “courageous presence” has encouraged your personal inventiveness and creativity.

Confused about the whole thing. How can there be a color of the year? Are some colors better than others? And who decides which ones they are?

And even if some colors were better, why this one? What is so special about it beyond some company wanting to sell it?

Yes, I would.

Well, it is the Pantone colour of the year.

It is not the only colour of the year.

Every company or user can make his own “Color of the year 2022”. So forum-members, let’s choose our own Affinity Color of the Year 2022. Here is my bet:

 

Why, color of hope.
