Many designers look to Pantone's colors of the year (COTY) for inspiration on the latest style. If you haven't heard of Pantone, we'll discuss what it is, how the color of the year is selected, and which colors were selected for 2021.

What is Pantone?

Pantone provides a universal color standard enabling color-critical decisions for use in various industries. Pantone products are relied upon for inspiration to over 10 million designers and producers worldwide for selecting colors.

How is the Color of the Year selected by Pantone?

For over 20 years, the experts at Pantone Color Institute search the world for new color influences. They look at numerous industries, including:

  • Entertainment

New technologies, materials, and textures may also influence the color of the year. Other socio-economic conditions and even sporting events can impact color selections.

Theory in Choosing the 2021 Colors

The 2021 colors of the year, Illuminating and Ultimate gray, demonstrate how two independent colors can come together to support each other. 

Illuminating is a bright but not overpowering yellow color. 

Ultimate Gray resembles pebbles on the beach. Together they represent resilience and hopefulness.

Where Can You Expect to See the 2021 Colors of the Year?

Color combinations are no strangers to interior design and fashion. The yellow and gray combination is sure to show up in everyday essentials, from home decor to handbags to shoes.

How Can the Colors of the Year be Incorporated in a Kitchen?

We recommend pulling in the tones of Ultimate Gray through a stone countertop or backsplash. You can implement pops of Illuminating yellow through wallpaper, appliances, cookware, utensils, chairs, and curtains. A bouquet of bright yellow daffodils creates a great finishing touch!
