Pantone Color 2021

"It's 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,


I believe we were all surprised when Pantone’s Color of 2021 was revealed to include two colors. In the past 20 years, only one other time has Pantone® blended two shades (Rose Quartz and Serenity) to be their Color of the Year.

This year’s colors, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating truly reflect a unique voice of strength and hope as we enter 2021. Reflecting on the many events of last year, I believe the human heart continues to press forward through pain, suffering, and loss yet as much as it presses forward through the pain, the heart also rejoices in the hope of healing, togetherness, and growth.

Scouring my images, I have picked a few that I believe are reflections of this unique color combination. The longer I observe these colors and ponder the meaning or interpretation of these shades, the more I feel the connection between the bleak, cold, and cloudy gray and the vibrant, cheerful, warming yellow. One can almost picture a dreary day disappearing as the hope of the happy golden rays peak from behind the gloomy covering and the warmth of the sun changes the mood.
