Every year, experts at the Pantone Color Institute search high and low for new color influences. They absorb everything the world has to offer, ranging from technology and fashion to socio-economic conditions. This year they crowned Ultimate Gray and Illuminating as the hues to carry us in 2021. Illuminating is a bright and positive yellow that brings to mind the phrase, “the light at the end of the tunnel.” When it comes to Ultimate Gray, “It’s a dependable gray,” says Leatrice Eiseman, the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. Positivity and dependability are two things we can all use a bit more of. From bold walls to accent pillows, explore our collection of homes that are embracing this inviting color combo.
