Every December, designers wait with bated breath for the next year’s Pantone Color of the Year to arrive. Last year’s dependable blue hue symbolized trust, a trait we didn’t know we really needed until 2020 threw a few curveballs. In 2021, we’ve been blessed with not one but two shades: 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and 13-0647 Illuminating. According to Pantone, this pair was created as “a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.” Celebrate a fresh start with these products in Pantone’s 2021 colors.
