PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Grey + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating

Pantone Ultimate Gray

Pantone Illuminating

PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, a bright yellow that evokes warm sunshine, the invigorating bite of a tart lemon and cheerful spirits.

The colour combination does make a strong statement. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Grey + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity, says Pantone.

After an unpredictable, unprecedented year, Ultimate Grey symbolises a quiet reassurance and resilience, while Illuminating reflects sunshine and optimism about a better tomorrow.

Since 2000, Pantone's team of colour experts have analysed colour trends and influences from entertainment, art, fashion, design, travels and other lifestyle inspirations to arrive at a colour – or in this year's case, two – that highlights top global trends. 

Pantone's 2020 pick, Classic Blue, was meant to represent stability, constancy and connection. Recent years' winners include Living Coral, Ultra Violet and Greenery. The last time Pantone chose two colours in one year was 2016, with Rose Quartz & Serenity.

WAYS TO WEAR GREY & YELLOW PANTONE'S COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2021

I think when done right this colour combo can look amazing. Grey is a great basic or neutral colour and tones down the strength of yellow and in return the uplifting, sunny shade of yellow gives grey a personality and strength it wouldn't have on its own and when teamed together, yellow and grey are a perfect colour combo.
