Do you follow the Pantone Color of the year announcements?
I have never thought much about it but heard someone mention it the other day so I decided to check it out.
For 2021, they appointed TWO colors…..

“Ultimate Grey” and “Illuminating”!!
The yellow is certainly bright and cheery, although I couldn’t see it splashed across a wall. But, it was just what we needed to lighten the mood for 2021!!
The grey would blend with so many things and might be a nice change from using black!!
I recently read that the 2022 announcement has been made. Stick with me and I will share the exciting news soon!!!
What do you think??

Frankly, I’m a little underwhelmed. I’ve never understood the concept of “color of the year,” or why Pantone has the authority to declare it. Gray and yellow? Big whoop.
I agree Andrea and, I must say, it has raised some controversy on the Facebook groups that I cross-posted to!!!
I am thrilled with the 2022 color of the year – periwinkle! It’s my very favorite color. What I have been wondering is who makes a solid quilting cotton that is this color?
That is a great question Sarah. I wonder if MODA does? I have just leaned that they also put out a color of the year so I am going to have to go “window shopping” on their website!!
