26 Apr Pantone Colour Of The Year 2021
2021 has been a year of great turmoil and uncertainty, however, what we can rely on is Pantone’s yearly announcement for colour of the year to brighten up our worlds and show the continued appreciation for the arts and the designers alike.
For Pantone Colour of the Year 2021 there has been appointed two colours this year, PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. Both colours combined bring a sense of support and happiness to the much-needed eyes of the public. Described by Pantone as ‘A marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.’
The two complimenting colours are bright and essential to the year that 2020 has been and 2021 that is to come, following last year’s 2020 colour of the year PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue which represented a calm and confident aura.
Pantone Colours of the Year 2021. Gray, Yellow, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating.
PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray
A reassuring colour, Ultimate Gray gives us a stable impression, an essence of strength in solitude, and a reassuring presence. It highlights the year, what we have overcome globally, and what we need after such uncertainty is both concrete in appearance and feeling.
The supportive colour brings a sense of wisdom and logic, taking us forward and powering us through difficult times.
