Pantone Color Institute‘s selection of hues couldn’t be more fitting with this year’s current state. While we recuperate from the challenges of the past year, the color authority provides a hopeful view for the rest of 2021 with Ultimate Gray (Pantone 17-5104) and Illuminating (Pantone 13-0647).
“The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Practical and rock 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.”
