Yellow and grey are the colours of the year 2021!

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Grey + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating are the colour shades of the year. The Pantone Institute writes: “In a time of persistent uncertainty, in which mankind would like to draw strength, clarity and hope, energetic shades give courage and zest for life. PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, a bright and happy yellow, sparkles with life and warms with the power of the sun. PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Grey is a symbol of the solid reliability of an everlasting, secure foundation. Like pebbles on the beach that stand the test of time, the subtly calming Ultimate Grey creates a feeling of serenity, consistency and resilience.

We have quite some materials in our product range that are available in these colours.
