Light at the End of the Tunnel: Pantone’s 2021 Colors of the Year

Pantone’s color experts travel the globe looking at color.  They synthesize art, fashion, and socio-economic influences to arrive at a color that reflects the upcoming year’s creative mood. For the first time, Pantone selected two colors for their 2021 color of the year. Unlike the blues and corals of the past two years, 2021’s colors are Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (yellow).  

 

The two colors represent the yin and yang of the new year. Individually, they bring a sense of strength and a feeling of optimism. Combined, they reflect life’s ebb and flow. They illustrate the resilience of the human spirit that continues to see the light at the end of any tunnel. Why not show your resilience by bringing Pantone’s 2021 colors into your living space?
