It is almost time for the Pantone Color of the Year for 2021 to be announced! I am eagerly awaiting the announcement.
Which colour do you think will be chosen to represent the trends seen developing for 2021?
The catwalk shows were mainly presented online and with global retail closed for many months and people under lockdown conditions the trend seen in 2020 was towards cosy leisurewear and colourful tops. A permanent version of dress down Friday for working from home with a focus on eye make-up, earrings and hair accessories which can still be seen when wearing a facemask or on a zoom call.
Will it be Orange?
At VeriVide we have seen an increase in sales of colour swatches in warm and mellow blush, apricot and rust tones. Popular shades are Warm Sand 15-1214, Ginger Root 15-1020, Coral Haze 16-1329, Orange Ochre 16-1253, Brandy Snifter 18-1323, and Rust 18-1248.

Or Green?
There has also been a trend towards zingy yellows and greens ideal for spring freshness such as Evening Primrose 13-0651, Illuminating 13-0647, Marigold 14-1050, Sharp Green 13-0535, Pickled Pepper 16-0436, Salted Lime 17-0232, and Golden Cypress 18-0531.

Maybe Blue will be Colour of the Year?
There is a strong possibility that the Color of the Year for 2021 will be orange or green. However, it could be a turquoise or bright blue shade. Selecting these tones would remind us of holidays by the sea. Popular blue colours for Spring include Blue Glass 12-5206, Tropical Breeze 13-4307, Beach Glass 13-5412, Blue Atoll 16-4535 and Indigo Bunting 18-4250.
