Pantone Colors of the Year 2021 Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow

Earlier this month on December 9th, Pantone announced the Pantone Color of the Year. Instead of one color, it was actually two colors. The 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year are Ultimate Gray PANTONE 17-5104 and Illuminating (Yellow) PANTONE 13-0647 .

“A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.” – Pantone website

As 2021 looms near and we collectively look forward to saying goodbye to 2020, a year that was filled with unprecedented hardship and challenges, two colors likely seemed in order. perhaps Pantone sensed this was a good time to celebrate 2 colors instead of just 1.

Illuminating is a cheerful yellow hue that is symbolic of light at the end of the tunnel, a sunny summers day, or fresh and bold like a lemon tart. Illuminating yellow is a welcome color of hope and possibilities. Paired with Ultimate Gray, a color of steady calm, a neutral tone that anchors and acts as a foundation, it is clear to see how these colors were a perfect match.
