Ahead of each new year the Pantone Color Institute selects a Color of the Year that informs what trends and designs to look forward to–and for 2021 Pantone has made the bold choice of two colors: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. The two colors where chosen in tandem to convey “a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.”
And it stands to reason that we’re all looking for a silver lining around the cloud cast by 2020. So as we look toward a brighter future in 2021, we have rounded up our favorite design objects that are either illuminating, ultimate gray, or both.
