The Color of the Year 2021 is now official! And no, it is not one color, it is two. PANTONE® 17-5104 Ultimate Gray, a soothing shade that brings to mind concrete and quiet pebble beaches, and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, a bright yellow that evokes warm sunshine, the invigorating bite of lemon tart, and a cheerful spirit.

The pandemic also affected this year’s color selection process. While the institute’s researchers generally spend the year traveling to research color trends around the world before making their choice, the health and safety restrictions surrounding COVID-19 meant their approach this year looked a bit different. – More online collaboration and a reliance on staff around the world to report on trends. Resistance.

But the objective when selecting the color of the year remains the same as in previous years: to reflect the culture of the moment in which we live. In retrospect, last year’s color Classic Blue, a soft deep indigo that sought to counter anxieties about a new decade: ironically it feels prescient for a year that has been defined by uncertainty. And the colors of 2021 fit perfectly as we prepare to welcome a new year full of possibilities: for a vaccine, for the world to open up again, for a return to a sense of normalcy and the opportunity to connect.

At MATERIA EFÍMERA we are sure that the stand design will also be influenced by the color of the year 2021, we will see it applied to all types of graphic supports, painting, signage, audiovisuals, carpets, furniture and fabrics.
