It’s a month into 2021, but it sure still feels like 2020! Sweatpants are still in vogue, and the “home office shed” is now just ‘the office’ for the foreseeable future. Well, there’s one thing that can be different in 2021 – your outdoor space. We’re not talking about just shoving in a pre-planted pot in one corner of your yard or the other. Take your outdoors up a notch with the Pantone Colors of the Year!

What is the Pantone Color of the Year?

Each year, the Pantone Color Institute™, introduces its Color of the Year, which influences trends in everything from fashion and home decor to product packaging. This year, Pantone has chosen two unique colors – Pantone Ultimate Gray and Pantone Illuminating (Yellow) to create a brand new 2021 trend! 

What’s Special About the Colors of the Year? 

According to Pantone, these colors represent a “marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.” Well, we couldn’t agree more! After all, what could be more enduring than the beautiful Pacific Northwest Mountains or the surrounding pines and cedars? What could be more hopeful and uplifting than bright jetfire daffodils or even goldenrods? Now just imagine those colors coming together in your outdoor space… modern, yet timeless, and delighting the whole neighborhood.
