Pantone's 2021 Colour Of The Year:
11th Dec 2020
2020 has been a very unusual year for many of us. With thoughts looming for what 2021 holds is yet to remain seen.
With this omen, Pantone have announced their colours of the year for 2021 - which happen to be quite fitting predictions.
Of course if 2020 was a colour, we have Ultimate Gray (17-5104 TCX) – which is barely the most exciting and uplifting example to end the last 12 months on.
To sit on the other side of the spectrum, we have Illuminating Yellow (13-0647 TCX). A sign of fresh optimism, energy and inspiration.
According to Pantone’s Leatrice Eiseman, executive eirector of its Color Institute, the pairing is “practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic”, which certainly feel like things that are scarce in recent times.
Pantone’s colour of the year announcement has become something of an end of year ritual for the creative industry – regardless of how seriously you take it.
Admittedly, the choices can feel rather hit and miss, compared to 2019's Living Coral and 2018's UltraViolet.
