Ultimate Gray and Illuminating
Each year, Pantone chooses a shade that perfectly captures the current moment in design. This year, they picked two colors for their top spot—Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (yellow).
According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, “the selection of two independent colors highlight how different elements come together to express a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting, conveying the idea that it’s not about one color or one person, it’s about more than one. The union of an enduring Ultimate Gray with the vibrant Yellow Illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude.”
Two Great Colors for Kitchens
Gray is considered the “new neutral” in interior design, and gray kitchen cabinets are becoming more popular. It is a classic color that never goes out of style and is perfect for those who do not want a pure white look.
Gray kitchen cabinets offer flexibility and versatility and provide a perfect backdrop for adding a striking color, such as (Illuminating) yellow to brighten a room. WOW! Bright, sunny, and warm…who doesn’t love a yellow kitchen?
As far as we are concerned at Kitchen & Bath Creations (KBC), the colors of the year for 2021 are prime for designing the kitchen of your dreams.
As we look forward to brighter days in 2021, there are so many ways that you can design and develop your kitchen. One of the nicest things you can do is come up with a color palette that blends together perfectly.
It is easy to add in yellow with accessories. Even a small splash of yellow can make a big difference.
Pantone has done an excellent job of selecting the colors of the year for 2021—Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow. These two colors mesh well together and are perfect for a kitchen.
