How To Wear Pantone’s Color Of The Year, Ultimate Gray And Illuminating

By

Whether you want to save or splurge, we created a blueprint on how you can wear Pantone’s color of the year and exude only positivity and fortitude.

2020 was no easy year for anyone. But while it was a year of struggle, we all survived it—that alone is an excellent feat for all of us. And as we’ve probably hit rock bottom last year, it seems like there’s no way but up in 2021, which apparently, the Pantone Color Institute also believes.

Following last year’s Classic Blue, they have introduced two hues as the colors of 2021.: PANTONE 17-5104 or the Ultimate Gray, and PANTONE 13-0647 or the Illuminating. Indeed, it’s a marriage of colors conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.

“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,” the color institute explains. “It is a story of color that encapsulates deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the promise of something sunny and friendly.”

Come to think of it, as we start yet another year of our lives, we all need to rekindle our spark of hope deep within us after feeling defeated as this is essential to the human spirit. So, what better way than to exude the positive message of these two colors by wearing them wherever we may go.
