However, everyone&#8217;s still unpacking the events of the past 12 months, and you&#8217;ll see that thought process play out in this year&#8217;s design and color trends. People will gravitate towards harmonious color combinations over bright, jarring contrasts. You&#8217;ll see a movement of artists and brands looking to break away from the things that no longer serve them and focus on the things that give them joy and purpose. In design, this will translate into simplified designs and soft, earthy color palettes. So, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what&#8217;s the color for 2021<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Is_Pantones_Color_of_the_Year_for_2021\">What Is Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year for 2021?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year, the Pantone Color Institute looks toward the future of design, drawing inspiration from fashion and interior design trends, new artists, technology, and current events. Their prediction? This year is all about optimism and resilience. Pantone\u2019s pick for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the color for 2021<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is actually a combination of two colors \u2014 Illuminating (#<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F9E547),<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/blog\/post\/what-color-is-bright-yellow\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bright, cheery yellow<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Ultimate Gray (#97999B), a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/blog\/post\/what-color-is-slate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rock-solid gray tone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The marriage of these two colors represents a proposed theme for 2021: hopefulness supported by fortitude; practicality mixed with warm optimism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike 2020\u2019s color of the year \u2014 Classic Blue \u2014 which brought to mind feelings of serenity and simplicity, the combination of Illuminating and Classic Gray is about taking action and thoughtfully moving forward. As we get further into 2021, many people will find themselves drawn to colors that represent warmth and dependability. When used in graphic design, Illuminating and Ultimate Gray work together to uplift and encourage us to make our mark on the world. It&#8217;s time to embrace the professional and personal growth that this year will bring.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CInx7QAjHEo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CInx7QAjHEo\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by PicsArt Russia (@picsartru)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the chaos that was 2020, it\u2019s time to reflect and go back to our roots. From a design perspective, this means embracing grounding colors that can inspire the strength to deal with whatever curveball life throws at you. Last year, you were likely forced to take stock and figure out what\u2019s truly important to you. This year, it\u2019s all about nurturing those things and giving them the space to grow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trending colors <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for 2021, like the Pantone colors of the year, will offer comfort, support, encouragement, and hope. The pandemic brought on a renewed emphasis on \u201chome,\u201d and on the struggle to draw the line between work and personal lives. Back-to-back Zoom calls turned our bedrooms into offices and classrooms, and screens took the place of in-person gatherings. It\u2019s 2021 and we\u2019re starting to get accustomed to the new normal. Expect to see designs made with colors that call to mind cozy feelings of the home that we <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">want<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even if it may not match up to our sometimes-crowded, often-messy reality. Let\u2019s take a look at the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trending colors<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can expect to see a lot of this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Canyon Dusk (#C19A86)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behr&#8217;s 2021 color of the year, Canyon Dusk, is a warm, earthy tone that suggests harmony with nature. It&#8217;s another grounding color that can bring feelings of comfort, assurance, and a little bit of escapism to a design. Last year, there was a lot of talk about the collective human experience and the little things that bring us all together. A color like Canyon Dusk encourages us to embrace the moments that make us human, from exploring the great outdoors to baking sourdough bread at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"pa-embeded-image\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/i\/image-352254825049201\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn141.picsart.com\/352254825049201.jpg\" alt=\"#beigeaesthetic \" width=\"428px\" height=\"428px\" data-id=\"352254825049201\" data-size=\"medium\" data-head=\"1\" data-foot=\"1\" \/>via PicsArt<\/a> <script async=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/embed.js?v1.3.4\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

The paint company Graham &amp; Brown chose a deep, rich plum shade for their color of the year. A proud, luxurious color that just screams royalty, Epoch can be used to introduce some drama to your designs. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/blog\/post\/color-theory\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Color theory indicates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that, when paired with soft lavenders, it can lend a sophisticated look to your designs.

It\u2019s also the time to create designs that help you stand out and make a statement. Color experts predict that blue is going to be the megaphone that gets your voice heard. Whether it\u2019s a light, airy cerulean, a strong, punchy teal, or a bold, fashion-forward cobalt, blue is a great color to help your message shine. If you\u2019re going to go with a statement blue, make sure there\u2019s nothing unnecessary in the image to distract from its impact.

Vivid, Contrasting Brights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though muted, earthy tones are the primary color influence for 2021, there\u2019s still room to make some noise with vivid, contrasting brights. As independent colors, vivid tones can add a dash of spice to a design, but pairing them together can make the entire image bold and flashy. Pantone suggests using Illuminating and Ultimate Gray with bright blues and pinks to create an exciting color scheme that\u2019s inspired by tropical birds. Alternately, pairing a bright, warm purple with a deep, vibrant gold can create a rich, luxurious aesthetic.
