Make 2021 Pantone colours yours! Discover how below.
2021 will be ‘Ultimate Grey’ and ‘Illuminating’ according to Pantone
Don’t know what I am talking about and what Pantone is? Pantone is a US company that provides a universal language of colour for identifying, matching and communicating colours consistently across industries.
That’s official, Pantone has set the tone for 2021 with 2 colours – ‘Ultimate Grey’ and ‘Illuminating’, or ‘Grey’ and ‘Yellow’ in short for you and me.
There is a lot to be said about this particular colour combination and why it has been considered a relevant indicator for this year’s trends. Dezeen, the architecture and design magazine, explores the psychology behind Pantone’s choice and the contrasting emotions associated with these 2 shades – grey & yellow – in the context of the pandemic.
Neutral and Bold – a winning combination
On a more personal level, have you ever considered the grey and yellow colour duo, maybe as your interior deco or your wardrobe? Already a big fan? Fabulous! I have got more for you to come. But if you are not, then consider this – it is a match made in heaven! Why? Because they strike the perfect balance between neutral and bold. You don’t have to be one or the other but you can actually be both! It is then a matter of personal taste to choose which one is the base colour and which one is the accent colour.
Why you will love mix metal jewellery
Apply that same principle to jewellery now. While there was a time when mixing metals would have been a fashion faux-pas, it is now regarded as a smart choice and here is why.
- Instant wardrobe update
The contrasting colours make for a dynamic and edgy styling at any age. It is a great excuse to start layering silver and gold rings!
