In 2021, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow were chosen. It was only the second time two colors were picked as Color of the Year, after Rose Quartz and Serenity in 2016. Gray, exquisitely paired with yellow. It was the comfort Pantone offered to a world just staggering under the pandemic's first blows.

We chose colors that speak to universal human resilience and hope. Gray is the color of rock and stone, which have existed for millions of years and will never disappear — it represents steadfastness, the sense that something you can lean on will always be there for you. Yellow has meant hope, optimism, and anticipation since childhood — the hope essential to the human spirit, a sky drenched in beautiful sunlight.

Every December, I have a small ritual of greeting the new year through the color #pantone announces for the year ahead. A few years back, in the thick of the pandemic, their pick of Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow left quite an impression on me.
Next year's color, they say, is Viva Magenta — a color that celebrates life.
