December 31, 2020 - If this calming blue has you dreaming of being on a remote tropical island, you’re not alone. I’m not sure if that was the intent when Benjamin Moore selected this blue-green shade for their color of the year, but it’s got me thinking about lying on a warm, sandy beach where I wish I had been stuck for the better part of 2020.

December 11, 2020 - The light is at the end of the tunnel. The light being the recently announced Pantone Color of the Year 2021, Illuminating. I think it is safe to say mostly everyone is over 2020, it's no secret that it's been a hard year and this bright, one might say 'illuminating', yellow that Pantone is bringing into our lives is not only wanted but much needed.

r/femalefashionadvice on Reddit: Pantone Color(s) of the year for 2021: Illuminating and Ultimate Gray
December 9, 2020 -

Pantone just announced their colors of the year and while we all know this is a marketing stunt, I feel like they kind of got it this year. I genuinely thought it was going to be a dull beige because that’s how I’m feeling about the coming year so far. The combo does make sense in a metaphorical way - like the light at the end of the tunnel or the brightness in the gray that is going to be the next few months.

From the trend prediction standpoint, I think they got it right again. Yellow has been having a moment for sure - I for one have recently purchased yellow pants x2, yellow socks, a yellow throw pillow, and a couple of other yellow knick knacks. Grey has been crazy trendy for years, especially in the home design/decor sphere.

Thoughts? Do you love it or hate it? Are you going to incorporate these colors into your life or ignore them like the opportunistic capitalist cash grabs they are? Have you already incorporated them into your life/style/home?
