About Ultimate Gray and Illuminating
Yellow
The 2021 colors of the year are the perfect
marriage of strength, hope, and fortitude. Imbuing your space with this illuminating color combo allows
your mind to open up to new possibilities while remaining grounded. This pairing can create a beautiful
modern aesthetic with the glow of Illuminating and the subtle power of Ultimate Gray. There is even some
breathtaking framed art that uses this color combination. In both Stone Gardens III Yellow by Silvia
Vassileva and Neutral Abstract Floral
II by Lanie Loreth, they use these colors to convey a sense of harmony. Each color does have its
own merits as well, and they are sure to be the color trends of this year.
Illuminating is a soft and shining yellow that doesn't overwhelm. Unlike most yellows, it
isn't harsh on the eyes. It more resembles the warmth of the sun without looking directly at it. It's
also an extremely versatile color combining well with many tones. Use it as an accent to illuminate any
space. When used with gray, this color takes itself to a new level. The contrast itself is enough to
draw the eye and never let it leave. If Illuminating is the leading lady, Ultimate Gray brings it back
to the center and gives it a welcome break.
Ultimate Gray is a softer tone of the color that
doesn't dissuade from the strength that it brings. With the perception of gray being a boring color,
some may glance past it. The truth is, it can create depth and breathe life into rooms. Either as a
backdrop to more colorful wall art or a full gray living room with a white ceiling, to give a more
modern take. Combining it with Illuminating takes its dynamic properties in a new and exciting
direction. When gray is the predominant color of a room, yellow gives it a pop of color and a nice touch
of warmth.

Since daylight wakes you in the morning, this color is
great in spaces that need a bit of freshness. If you're looking for a truly bright experience, adding
oranges and pinks get you closer to a sunset look. While adding turquoise and gray will provide more of a
cooling look. You can also add this color with pillows, furniture, or living room art. This gives you the
taste of sunshine without encompassing the entire space with it. Whether you're looking for a more modern
style or rustic charm, Illuminating can do both. Yellow allows your eyes to refocus without taking away your
attention from any other decoration. This is why it's such a simple color to use to give warmth without
compromise.

pairs nicely with white accents to create a clean and serene appearance. If used in combination with wood,
you can get a warmer look with rustic style accents. Not dull in the least: Gray is perfectly placed in the

backdrop. It's also used well in combination with black, highlighted with grayscale kitchen art like
Relativity by M.C E.scher The variations are practically endless and can be used in any room from the dining
room, to the bedroom. Whether it's used to give full attention to a colorful decor or a further highlight to
more modern minimalism, Ultimate Gray brings credence to whichever placement it is given. In combination
with Illuminating, it symbolizes the year 2021 with hope and fortitude.
