A celebration of brighter, hopeful times ahead and the unyielding human spirit
From eager New Year resolutions to uncovering new trends, the start of a new year makes way for fresh beginnings. Considering the unsettled times of the previous year, the saying “out with the old, in with the new” will resonate now more than ever, as we journey into 2021.
Annually anticipated for over 20 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has long influenced and inspired design, packaging, product development and purchasing decisions. Setting the colour tones for multiple industries, from fashion to home furnishings and industrial design, the selection process is led by a considered analysis of the latest trends.
Combing every corner of the globe, Pantone’s Color Institute team takes inspiration from diversified influences including the entertainment industry, upcoming films, art, travel, lifestyle, socio-economic conditions, technologies and more.
Pantone’s 2021 colours: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating
Perhaps an apt response to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic that struck in 2020, this year’s Pantone colour selections are two independent yet supportive hues – PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. Dependable and practical, PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray provides a firm, everlasting foundation, while the bright, cheery PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating emanates strength and positivity.
“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 encourage and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.”
– Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute
Together, they pay tribute to the fighting human spirit in times of continuing uncertainty, while aspiring to a brighter, hopeful future.
