Pantone Colors of the Year

Thought I'd share this in case you follow Pantone's Color of the Year.  This year they chose two colors.  Can't say I'm much impressed with one of the two colors.  The "Illuminating" yellow is bright and cheerful.  But I'm so tired of grays like their "Ultimate Gray."  To me gray is depressing.  Have seen so many people the last several years painting the walls of their rooms gray.  Ugh!  After a year like 2020, I want FUN color!  Maybe it's just me . . . LOL!

I do find, however, MANY of the Pantone colors for Spring and Summer to be fun and cheerful!  Here's a link to see the full collection:

If you like to follow what colors Pantone chooses, here are the 2020 Spring/Summer picks.  Their statement:

"Combining our desire for stability, creativity, and more spontaneous design approaches, the color palette for Spring/Summer 2020 infuses heritage and tradition with a colorful youthful update that creates strong multi-colored combinations as well as energizing and optimistic pairings," commented Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
