Amidst the havoc, US Company Pantone revealed the two colours for the year 2021, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. With endurance and upliftment being key aspirations in decor, the marriage of these two colours can bring in thoughtfulness and charm. Let’s check out different elements in these hues which can infuse hope and strength Research: Yukti Kasera
“Pantone colors for 2021 deeply define the importance of what exists and is natural; which is, the rock solid ‘Ultimate Gray’, in union with ‘hope’ for a brighter tomorrow, ‘Illuminating’. The combination of these two together in any space is so eclectic and brightens it immediately. For contemporary decor, an accentuating color can often add a punch of pop such as yellow, which is balanced well with earthy neutral tones like Gray. The minimal style of design adopts and embraces these tones very well. A combination of such empowering colors enriches and adds glamour to the ambience.” Shares Neha Jain, Co-founder, UDC Homes
“The yellow feels like a fresh wave of energy, enthusiasm and excitement, compensating for the mellow 2020. Looking at these colours can be just like ying yang, striking a balance between the dull and the bright. Bright yellow is a welcoming colour for any space. In a residential space, it works for adults as well as for the kids’ rooms. It doesn’t follow age and its presence is quite enduring. A combination of Gray and yellow are widely used in commercial spaces. This combination adds a playful vibe as well as a sense of maturity. Bright yellow is a great energy booster while Gray balances out with some CALM” says Pankaj Poddar, Co-Founder, Hipcouch
