It’s that time of the year. Yes, the one where you deck your halls with boughs of holly and start prepping for NYE, but also, more importantly, the one where the Pantone Institute of Colour announces it’s colour of the year. This year though, the institute (a.k.a. the highest authority on all things colour) has announced that it’ll be releasing two shades, instead of one – Ultimate Grey and Illuminating Yellow. (PS, this is a big deal because it’s the second time ever that the institute has announced two shades.) The colours, which were chosen for being practical and rock-solid, but at the same time warming and optimistic, embody a message of happiness supported by fortitude. (Which is the perfect way to end 2020.)
While we eagerly wait for these shades to make their debut on the runway, it’s always a good idea to stay ahead of the curve. Swipe on below to see the best, celeb-inspired ways to style the Pantone colours of the year:
