Colors bring out the emotions and meaning from an image. Which is why they are important elements to consider in every design, including printing projects. Every year, a new color of the year is announced, this time as well for 2021.

Made official by the Pantone Color Company, the Pantone Color of the year in 2021 is PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating! Practical, solid yet optimistic, these colors represent one of strength and positivity. With the promise of something sunny, the pair gives us endurance and hope as we move forward to year 2021. :)

That said, if you want your design to keep up with the latest color trend, fret not! Here in Gogoprint, we will cover some nice ideas on how you can based off these colors of the year into your next printing project. Check it out.
