ILLUMINATING & ULTIMATE GRAY: COLOURS OF THE YEAR 2021

PANTONE* chose these colors for 2021 because 17-5104 Ultimate Gray & PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is:

“A message of happiness supported by fortitude”,

“We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit.

As people look for ways to fortify themselves with energy, clarity, and hope to overcome the continuing uncertainty, spirited and emboldening shades satisfy our quest for vitality. PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power. PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray is emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation.” Learn more here>>>
