The colors are very important in our lifes as they are associated with different moods, values, as well as sensations and meanings. For our home, colors are fundamental since they are key pieces to create the atmosphere and ambiance we want in our rooms.

For this year, Pantone has unveiled the two colors that will be the main protagonists of 2021: Illuminating and Ultimate Grey. Gone is Classic Blue, a color blue that sought to convey calm in a year 2020 so complicated for the world. Now the company proposes these two shades with which it seeks to send a positive message after a year and present marked by the Covid-19 pandemic.

So, yellow and gray are the colors that this year will seek to highlight. Leatrice Eisdeman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, comments: "The union of these colors expresses a message of positivity combined with strength. This color mix , practical and solid, yet at the same time warm and optimistic, offers us resilience and hope. We need to feel encouraged and comforted; it is essential for the human soul."

But what is Pantone? It is an American company that was founded in 1962 as a business selling color cards for cosmetics. In 1963, they created the first international color identification system: Pantone Matching System (PMS). This system uses a palette of colors to identify shades by means of a certain code. In this way, a unique and exact color can be produced as often as desired.

Pantone, in a press release, describes these 2021 trend colors . Illuminating Yellow (Pantone 13-0647) is a warm, bright and cheerful tone that generates vivacity and effervescence; on the other hand, Ultimate Grey (Pantone 17-5104) is a symbol of solid and reliable elements, being the color of rocks and beach stones.

As we can see, this choice and combination of colors for 2021 convey a message of strength and hope. Applied to the design of our spaces at home, it perfectly encapsulates that feeling of comfort, which seeks to convey to people tranquility and optimism.

At Celima, we have a series of products that adapt perfectly to the trends in design and color for this year 2021.
