Every year Pantone proposes a colour of the year which influences many areas such as fashion, interior design, graphic and industrial design and of course weddings.
For 2021 Pantone 17-5104 Ultimate Grey and Pantone 13-0647 Illuminating have been chosen; for the second time it was a color combination (see my post).
In the words of Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of “Pantone of the year” , “The union of an enduring ultimate Gray with the vibrant yellow Illuminating, expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a colour combination that give us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.”
What do you think about this colour combination for your wedding? You could choose just one of the two tones, or add a third colour such as lilac, very trendy this year, or even a touch of delicate light pink. In my Pinterest profile I‘ve created a moodboard with this colour combination- have a look to inspire you!
Here are some different shades of yellow for different styles of weddings:
Freesia, ideal for both country and minimalistic weddings
