Style and design devotees can finally relax, because Pantone has revealed not one but two colours of the year for 2021. The company has chosen Ultimate Gray (PANTONE 17-5104) and Illuminating (PANTONE 13-0647) as the hues of choices for their Colour of the Year 2021 .

The grey and yellow shades each work as stand-alone colours, but also complement each other beautifully when paired together. The yellow specifically evokes brighter days ahead. (Were not projecting our hopes for a better 2021 at all ... )

Its a combination that speaks to the resilience , the optimism and hope and positivity that we need, as we reset, renew, reimagine and reinvent, said Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, via CNN .
