For the year 2021, PANTONE® has opted for two colours as their Colour of the Year, Ultimate Grey and Illuminating.

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, two independent colours that highlight how different elements come together to support one another and best express the mood for PANTONE® Color of the Year 2021.

Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, the union of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is one of strength and positivity. It is a story of colour that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.

A message of happiness supported by fortitude, the pantone color institute deemed PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating as a combination that is aspirational and gives us hope, like a warm and welcoming embrace.
