Why Navy Blue Is the Real Colour of the Year
Smart. Sophisticated. Simple. Stylish.
Nice.
Good. Our favourite shade of blue is actually the best colour to wear during this strange year Getty / Pantone
According to Pantone, the colour of 2021 is actually two colours: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. One is grey and one is yellow and they are, according to the company, A marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting
. I m not sure an entire year – 12 months of waking up, going to the shops, being on the computer, not getting an Ocado slot, going to the bigger shops – can be summarised by any colour(s), but that s what Pantone s job is: lots of people in lab coats sat around a table talking about colours and what they mean.
