Get to Know Pantone 2021 Colors: Illuminating and Ultimate Gray
If the announcement already causes curiosity every year, the tone for 2021 was even more expected, since 2020 was a completely atypical year because of the covid-19 pandemic. More than just a trend, Pantone’s color of the year is also a reflection on the changes and needs of the current moment:
”The color of the year is very much a statement of how the world is feeling “
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute defined the duo colors as practical and solid as a rock but, at the same time, comforting and optimisti. This is a combination of colors that gives us resilience and hope.
Yellow is nothing new, since this is the second time that the color appears among the company’s chosen ones along with the 2009 Mimosa hue. But this was the first time that a gray nuance was chosen. Complementing each other perfectly, the solid, eternal and calm Ultimate Gray brings stability, while the vibrant, lively and warm Illuminating is stimulating, giving energy to any decor.
The colors create an interesting contrast and can influence the way we see our spaces. With that in mind, we look for some ideas on how to bring illuminating and ultimate gray to home spaces. Whether to dare or incorporate them in a more subtle way.
Modern Living Room
For a living room space, use the Pantone 2021 colors to create a modern look. As gray sofa with yellow accents on the walls it will look cozy and create a striking space.
Bright reading space
If you really want to plunge headlong into illuminating, opt for a light armchair. Combine with a rug or illuminating and ultimate gra pillows for a great rest and reading area.
Inspiring gallery wall
Stream your creative ideas with pictures frames on Pantone 2021 colors. Add an ultimate gray or illuminating color seat to bring even more harmony to the environment.
