Pantone’s colours ‘Ultimate Gray’ and ‘Illuminating’ highlight how different elements come together to support one another.

These colours, taken in combination, make the Pantone Color Institute’s ‘colour of the year’ 2021 title. Practical and rock solid, warming and optimistic, this union is one of strength and positivity. Our favourite yellow eyewear is full of sunny optimism for better times ahead.
