New Pantone Colors For 2021
11 Makeup Products to Add the Pantone Colors of the Year 2021 to Your Beauty Arsenal
From an edgy smokey eye to a pop of sunshine on your lids, add the Pantone Color(s) of the Year 2021 to your beauty kit; an illuminating yellow and the ultimate gray.
Lets face it: 2020 was a horrible year. A global pandemic, economical disaster, social distancing and social upheaval; all reflected in the vice president of Pantone color institute, Laurie Pressman to give 2020 the color blue. The Classic Blue symbolizes what's going to happen next.
A great question for our magic crystal ball. The Pantone 2021 Colors of the Year are Ultimate Gray and Illuminating, shades chosen for their warmth and dependability.
Transitioning from blue, 2021 brings polar opposites; a shade of pale grey overcast reflects battles from the previous year, but with a spark of light for the future, bringing a renewed sense of hope.
The Pantone news release announcing the colors described Illuminating as “a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power.” Ultimate Gray, like pebbles, is emblematic of “solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation.”
It's the first time an achromatic shade (gray) has been selected, and the second time two colors have been chosen. In 2016, the pale pink and blue hues, Rose Quartz and Serenity broke the norm when they were presented as a gradient.
Therapeutic implications
Pantone's Color of the Year reflects color trends in fashion, beauty, design and home decor, and since the beginning, the initiative has also served as a mood ring of sorts, selecting the hues capturing the spirit of the time. In years with undercurrents of uncertainty -- such as 2020's global pandemic -- that has often meant choosing colors that are meant to soothe, calm or uplift.
However people interpret Pantone's choices this year, Pressman and Eiseman emphasize the strength of bringing two disparate colors together.
"What we were trying to demonstrate was how you have different elements that come together, and it's that coming together that expresses the strength and the hopefulness," said Eiseman.
"I think (one) thing that's become abundantly clear during this time...across the world is this deeper understanding of how much we need each other," said Pressman. "How our connections to other people, our relationships with other people, give us that emotional support."
From an edgy smokey eye to a pop of sunshine on your lids, add the Pantone Color(s) of the Year 2021 to your beauty kit; an illuminating yellow and the ultimate gray.
