The Pantone Color of the Year is a color trend forecast for consumers. We can expect to see the color(s) chosen for the year in trending designs and products.
For more than 20 years now, the Pantone Color of the Year has influenced decisions in various industries like fashion, home furnishings, product design, and graphic design. Experts at the Pantone Color Institute spend the year combing through different facets of culture all around the world. Technology, entertainment, new artists, popular travel destinations and more are taken into consideration when choosing the color for the year.
The Pantone Color of the Year for 2021 is PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.
The Ultimate Grey and Illuminating color combination is how different elements come together to support one another, and best expresses the mood for Pantone Color of the Year 2021.
The yellow is warm, bright, and cheerful while the gray is resilient and steady. After 2020’s events, we could all use a little more hope and reminder that the future is bright, we just have to push through it.
How can you incorporate these colors into your home decor?
Try adding a yellow throw or pillows to your living room as an accent color piece. Maybe even add a gray accent wall for a visual addition.
These colors are bold, so it is not recommended to have an entire room in these colors, however the use of patterns and textures can make it seem layered.
