One week ago, the international color authority, The PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE, finally released the Pantone Color of the year 2021: PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.
“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 color combination that gives us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.”
As you can see, the Pantone Color of the Year 2021 comes in a two-color combination, last seen in 2016 when quartz pink and quiet blue set off an online debate about gender fluidity. Once again, after five years, two colors are chosen to represent the new year, a marriage of colors conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.
If you have followed the history of the color of the year, I believe you are already familiar with the association of each year’s color with the social environment. What is behind the color of the year? It not only determines the trend of fashion, home décor, and design … but also reflects worldwide emotions. We can look at the meaning with a more open eye: behind the colors of the year, there is a certain empathy of human beings as a community of destiny.
The COVID-19 epidemic, the Australian mountain fires, as well as the US Election … the Year 2020 is filled with so much trepidation and uncertainty that by correlating Pantone’s interpretation of ultimate gray and vibrant yellow, we feel the intent of this combination of colors on an emotional level more than in any previous year.
At Housetex, we have rolled out a new series of petite ottoman stools with metal frame using this gray and yellow color scheme, satisfying people’s quest for vitality to overcome the continuing uncertainty at the moment.
Our Fabric Cylindrical Ottoman Stool with Metal Frame is a bright and cheerful yellow ottoman, sparkling with vivacity, offering a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power. Yellow, reminiscent of splendor and harvest. The whole piece reminds us of the thriving sunflowers, the crisp flesh of yellow peaches, clusters of ginkgo branches, golden waves of wheat on a sunny day …… and the sun with a wider perspective. The vibrant color signifies sunshine and friendliness, widely popular in the home living space. Apart from bringing in a cozy, summer vibe, it also creates a smooth focal point, allowing to save space when unused.
Our Velvet Ottoman Stool with U-Shaped Metal Frame is a combination of solid and dependable elements that are everlasting and provide a firm foundation.
