Pantone Colour Of The Year 2021: Ultimate Grey & Illuminating
This year surprisingly Pantone has chosen not one but TWO colours of the year. The colours chosen are Ultimate Gray plus a gorgeous Yellow called Illuminating. This beautiful partnership of colour communicates the message of hopefulness and strength whilst being uplifting and long lasting. Grey and yellow may not seem like natural partners, but this optimistic and uplifting combination conveys a functional and reflective union that creates serenity and optimism.
Grey is a very calming and conservative colour while yellow always conveys brightness, joy and light.

Retreat is peaceful and reflective - I can most definitely see these in a spa setting, or elegant nook in your home. An escape from the hustle and bustle of zoom meetings and home schooling.

Whatever the trends, colour is a very personal choice. Don’t feel restricted by any of the colours combinations, and feel free to surprise yourself by mixing colours from different palettes.
When you are ready to repaint or renovate its a good first step to create a moodboard of the colours, themes, and ideas you have. If you are redecorating with a spouse or partner its a very important tool to help others visualise your vision.
