Just in time for the new year, two Pantone 2021 colors are coming to revive our decors: a neutral gray (17-5104 Ultimate Gray) and a bright yellow (13-0647 Illuminating). A refreshing breath that clearly inspires!
Unlike classic blue, the 2020 color that was meant to be a "reassuring" shade, the two colors chosen for 2021 are a comforting and energetic union perfect for instilling optimism and hope.
Always highly anticipated, Pantone's choices of the year have the reputation of having a significant influence on fashion and decoration, worldwide. Yellow is a bright and stimulating color. Associated with joy, it is also a symbol of friendship and fraternity. It also represents knowledge and science. Gray, on the other hand, has the merit of being a soft shade. It represents calm and serenity. Sober, elegant, it is a good ally and naturally highlights its 2021 concubine.
Whether sparingly or in large bursts, decorations worthy of comfort and happiness.
The accent wall brings brightness to this almost monochrome decor. The accessories are also a nice touch that can be changed, according to the decor trends and without having to start all over again.

How does Pantone choose the color of the year?
Every year, Pantone brings together its experts specializing in color psychology, who have traveled all year, to be the scouts of tomorrow's trends. The selection criteria are based on the elements that have aroused the interest of the planet to identify the color or colors that will influence graphic artists, illustrators, designers and fashion designers.
Every year, at the same time, the winner of the year is revealed. This year, the two colors come to mark the state of mind of the world culture; the sentimental aspect of the colors is a primary factor in the decision-making of the Pantone committee.
" Since color and context are so closely linked, the reasons why a particular hue or color family stands out are clear. Overall, the popularity of a color is symbolic of our times.
This process requires extensive research and analysis by our Pantone Color Institute team. To define the Color of the Year, the team combs the globe, actively searching for color trends that relate to general lifestyles and new influential colors to add to our seasonal color trend forecast reports. ” – Laurie Pressman, vice president of Pantone Brand.
