Pantone took the world by surprise by choosing not only one, but TWO colors for 2021. Pantone picked the neutral Ultimate Grey together with a graceful yellow called Illuminating. A color pair bearing a message of strength, hopefulness, and endurance. It gives off warmth and optimism — something that the whole world needs in these trying times. 

In this case, it’s a unique and smart idea to rock these two together! It may seem out of the ordinary, but new year, new you, right? Today we’ll teach you how!

Yellow is very bright and eye-catching. To make yourself rock this color — go grand or make it an accessory.

On the other hand, if you just want a pinch of yellow to your outfit, wear gray, and go for yellow shoes and accessories like your belt, necklace, or earrings.
