For over 21 years, Pantone Color experts release a “Color of the Year” as a means to predict design trends for the coming year. This year, Pantone has announced PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating as the 2021 Colors of the Year.
2021’s choices are a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.
“The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope,” described Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
