ULTIMATE GRAY & ILLUMINATING: Pantone's Colors of the Year 2021
No matter the focus of your art, I think it is safe to say we all get a little bit excited when Pantone announces their COLOR OF THE YEAR. Coming off of a year full of sorrow from the pandemic, Pantone selected 2 colors for 2021.
Ultimate Gray & Illuminating
Pantone Colors of the Year 2021
Ultimate Gray can symbolize the gray cloudy skies evoking our collective experiences over the past year.
Contrast that with a look to the sunny days ahead with Illuminating, a bright bold yellow! Both colors can bring about comfort and warmth in your decor, either together or on their own.
““Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.””
Want to incorporate Ultimate Gray and/or Illuminating into your decor? Here are a few products that can add them as the perfect finishing touch for your home, showroom or next design project…
Charcoal Gray Mirrors
If you aren’t familiar with The Howard Elliott Custom Color Program, this is a great way to add a pop of color to your walls when you don’t want to paint or cover them in wall covering. The process is simple, select a frame from our Custom Color Collection and choose to color it in one of 14 bold, glossy hues, including a rich Charcoal Gray!
