After the laundry list of unimaginable circumstances that 2020 had to offer, we are coming out of it with a new-found perspective anchored on strength and optimism. Enter Pantone colors of the year 2021: Illuminating and Ultimate Gray.
The two independent hues nominated as this year's standard-bearers send a message of hope, joy, and fortitude. And though this might seem frivolous, it's important to note that what we choose to surround ourselves with—even something as little as the colors we pick for an outfit or tablescape—impacts our everyday outlook.
These are more than just colors. Illuminating and Ultimate Gray are simple reminders of how we can always pick ourselves up after every fall.
From sunshine yellow flip-flops and steel gray jewelry to citrus scents and cozy heather-hued tees, we took the liberty of jotting down key pieces from rustans.com that fit the bill for this year's colors.
