Choosing our home decor colors based on Pantone's yearly pick isn't normally the way we select our hues. However, you may be inspired to include shades or versions of their choices based upon the inspirational messages behind why Pantone selected them.
Ultimate Gray & Illuminating Yellow - Welcome to 2021
Did You Know This About Yellow and Gray?
"Did you know that yellow is said to be the color of the thinker versus the dreamer"
Gray is known to be the color of compromise as well as intellect. You'll find a great deal of gray in modern home decor pieces and paint. I've personally felt gray on its own was never enough - for me, there needs to be a bright color offset. Pantone's choice of vibrant yellow with gray ties two sides of a coin together.
