2021 is here! And with it, of course, comes Pantone’s Color of the Year. Or rather, Colors of the Year. Pantone has selected ‘Ultimate Gray,’ a classic gray tone and ‘Illuminating,’ a bright yellow hue.
Pantone says of their selections: “The union of Pantone Ultimate Gray + Pantone Illuminating is one of strength and positivity… Pantone Illuminating is a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power. Pantone Ultimate Gray is emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation.”
