As the year 2020 draws to a close, Pantone has unveiled the colour it believes will reflect the year ahead.

For the year 2021, Pantone has selected two contrasting shades, “ultimate grey” and “illuminating”, which they described as “a marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.

After a difficult year thanks to a global pandemic, Illuminating yellow and Ultimate grey is a cheerful mix that reminds us to be resilient while always having it in mind that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
