Pantone Ultimate Gray (grey) and Pantone Illuminating (bright yellow) have been dubbed as the colour of the upcoming year.
Every winter, the world’s design authorities share their colour choices for the upcoming year. It has been said to be the best part of the year for anyone who works with colour. Pantone is naming two for 2021: A vivid yellow called Illuminating (13-0647) and Ultimate Gray (17.5104).
Yellow and grey the two independent colours define how two different elements come to support one another. Together, the two shades solidify two of our human needs. These two colours are rock solid but warming and optimistic.
Pantone Ultimate Gray (grey) and Pantone Illuminating (bright yellow) have been dubbed as the colour of the upcoming year. According to the Pantone website, the colours were picked up since "a marriage of colour conveys a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting".
As mentioned on Pantone's Instagram handle, "Illuminating' is a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power while 'Ultimate Gray' is emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation. These two independent colours that come together to create an aspirational colour pairing, conjoining deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the optimistic promise of a sunshine-filled day." These colours also give strength and positivity.
If we take a look at the past year's Pantone colours they were an influence for development and purchasing industries, but this year we need strength, hope, the bright side of nature and the beautiful life ahead. And so, these colours seem like the right choice for the year ahead.
Meanwhile, Additti Jain founder of IKI CHIC listed two ways in which we can sport these two colours in the coming year.
Illuminating Yellow: Not so Mellow Yellow
The yellow colour is bright and cheerful. It gives us strength and hope for better things. We need to feel everything is going to get brighter. Turn heads at the club in this super chic satin dress. The All Legs dress is made from smooth satin and features a figure-flaunting silhouette with long puff sleeves, a cross wrap V-neckline. Team it with strappy heels and a clutch bag for the perfect party look!
Ultimate Gray: The Striking Grey Top
Pantone says their choices this year are a message of happiness and courage. Grey colours are inspired by the pebbles on the beach and natural elements, encouraging feelings of composure. Ultimate grey quietly assures, encouraging feelings of composure, steadiness and resilience. It’s all about sparkle this season and gives some instant glitz to your look with this top. It features a sequin material, a V-neckline with cami straps and a sleeveless style. We love this teamed with leather bottom and strappy heels for an ultimate look.
