The Pantone Color Institute has announced it’s Colors of the Year for 2021.

Neutral Ultimate Gray and vibrant yellow Illuminating.

“It’s a combination that speaks to the resilience, the optimism and hope and positivity that we need, as we reset, renew, reimagine and reinvent.”

It’s the first time an achromatic shade (gray) has been selected, and the second time two colors have been chosen.

The 2020 colour of the year was Classic Blue.

Pantone’s Color of the Year reflects color trends in fashion, beauty, design and home decor, and since the beginning, the initiative has also served as a mood ring of sorts, selecting the hues capturing the spirit of the time.
