2021 Color of the Year

"Desert Gold"

Yellow is the sign of Spring in the desert.

Everywhere you look - drifts of yellow Palo Verde blossoms litter the ground. Joined by dazzling yellow Arizona poppies in yards, empty lots and mountain trails.

Pantone, the recognized international color expert, recently announced their top colors for 2021 - Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow.

Their annual color choices are historically the trendsetters in fashion, product design and especially interior design.

This is great news - Yellow is one of my favorite colors to paint!  

As most interior designers will tell you, there's nothing more inspiring in a neutral interior than a splash of color. Yellow is the perfect pop! Especially against a gray background.

In the words of Pantone - "A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting."

May this be a sign of new life and new beginnings worldwide in 2021.
