If you\u2019re anything like us, you\u2019ve been anxiously awaiting the announcement by Pantone of their 2021 color of the year. Yesterday\u2019s announcement that we have not one, but two colors of the year made us doubly excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the tastemakers at Pantone, the colors of the year for 2021 are PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a color of the year is as much about predicting where trends are at the moment as they are trying to see into the future. After a year like 2020, it feels almost dangerous to try and predict the moods and mentalities of 2021. With this pairing, Pantone attempts to meet this challenge by picking colors that embody our collective zeitgeist at our human best: optimism and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of the Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman, \u201c[T]his is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and uplifted; this is essential to the human spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we look forward to seeing how interior designers work these colors into inspiring spaces over the year, we have work by artists whose art plays with 2021\u2019s hues in complementary ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niqui Carter<\/strong> is a New York-based photographer whose work consistently pushes past the boundaries of what we think of when we hear \u201cfine art photography\u201d. Her alternative photographic techniques reveal beautiful, painterly abstracts that we adore. These two pieces are from her Waves and Paper Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Farron Feiner<\/strong> is an LA fiber artist best known for her keen eye developing color palettes, using pop colors and her large-scale landscape weavings. Each of Feiner\u2019s pieces is handmade with sustainable fibers and one-of-a-kind. These two pieces, entitled \u201cMaria Tambi\u00e9n\u201d and \u201cHoney\u201d, both pair sunny yellows with calm, stable grays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Napa Valley artist Charles Seerey\u2019s<\/strong> work integrates art history influences and personal perspectives. To achieve his signature look, Seerey applies paint to produce a distinctive rendering of color, light, and texture, built up in a series of layers with elements of underpainting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sculptor Matt Devine<\/a> is a self-taught sculptor working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. The contrasts of nature and industry, light and shadow, chaos and order are themes found throughout Devine\u2019s body of work. Bright yellow is a common color in Devine\u2019s sculpture, and paired with one of his gray pieces the two are a beautiful embodiment of this power color couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won\u2019t pretend to be able to see into the future, but does this color pairing remind you of our recent trend report? Read up on yellow and gray\u2019s luxurious cousins\u2014 silver and gold\u2014 on the KBAA blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
