The Pantone Colors of the Year 2021 have been announced as PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.

These two independent colors highlight how different elements come together to support each other. This plays very well into design by incorporating complementing colors within your living space to instill a sense of balance. 

The combination of these two colors gives us hope and inspiration. This seems very fitting after the past year we have endured. The Illuminating color is a bright, cheerful yellow that brings hope to overcome the continuing uncertainty within us. The Ultimate Grey color brings solid, dependable elements which provide a firm foundation and helps us feel steady and composed. 

“The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.” - Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute

When working with our team of designers to bring your space to life, bringing in your favorite shades can be something to consider. However, when choosing finishes like cabinet color an tile, it’s important to think long term. If you’re looking to incorporate popular colors, consider bold artwork, accent pillows, paint and other decor that can be more easily changed.
