Ideas for Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Paint
When Pantone announced the Color of the Year for 2021, which was actually two distinct colors this year, people all across the country began to consider where they could use the paint options within their own homes or in their workplaces, too. The Pantone company has been choosing a “Color of the Year” for more than 20 years, and industries and people everywhere have delighted in the trendy color options.
This year, there are 2 color choices that are promoted by Pantone. The Colors of the Year for 2021 are Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. Ultimate Gray is a warm, soothing shade of gray that is considered classic and everlasting. Illuminating is a bright and cheerful shade of yellow that represents hope and brilliance. These two colors stand alone just perfectly, but when they are blended together, the contrast in the two colors is remarkable and comforting.
If you have been looking for paint ideas that incorporate one or both of these two color options, then perhaps you will find one of the following ideas perfect for your home or office. You will also be able to find a plethora of color ideas through further research on social media websites, magazines, home-improvement books, or by visiting your local paint-supply company.
- Add an accent wall: Accent walls can make a dramatic statement in your living room, bedroom, office, bathroom, or anywhere else you want to create a new appearance. Instead of painting an entire room the color of Ultimate Gray or Illuminating, choose a dominant wall to paint one of the chosen Colors of the Year. For many people, a warm gray or a bright yellow is too overwhelming for an entire room, but an accent wall may just do the trick to spice things up in a room and embrace one of the current and trendy color options.
- Paint the front door of your home: Yellow has always been a popular color choice for a front door, mainly because it is a welcoming, cheerful color that creates a bright atmosphere for your humble abode. Illuminating is no exception. Using this beautiful color to add brilliance and cheerfulness to your home may be just what people need to see in the new, upcoming year.
- Paint kitchen or bathroom cabinets: These 2 rooms are often the most frequently used rooms within a home, and sprucing them up with a current paint color fashion will speak volumes for your own trendy ways. Ultimate Gray or Illuminating will add a unique character to your kitchen or bathroom, and you can easily add some decorative items to each room that will compliment your chosen color.
