Each year, PANTONE selects a symbolic color to represent global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude. PANTONE announced two 2021 colors of the year – Ultimate Gray and Illuminating yellow – and had this to say about their decision:

“A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting. Illuminating is a bright and cheerful yellow sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power. Ultimate Gray is emblematic of solid and dependable elements which are everlasting and provide a firm foundation. These two independent colors that come together to create an aspirational color pairing, conjoining deeper feelings of thoughtfulness with the optimistic promise of a sunshine filled day.“

Bright vibrant colors are the hallmark of our dog photos and we love to draw inspiration from fashion, nature, and art. Check out a few of our recent Dallas pet photography sessions that were all about that Ultimate Gray and Illuminating yellow before we even knew it was the trend!

Is there anything better than the Illuminating glow of autumn leaves and an adorable Doodle?!

“Ultimate Gray” may be my new favorite way to describe the perfectly dappled Archer, the newest addition to our family. More to come on him soon but I couldn’t resist this opportunity for a sneak peek 😉

PANTONE describes Ultimate Gray as “solid and dependable,” much like Jaeger the Scottish Terrier and his frosting-tipped ears

We agree, the Ultimate Gray of Bri the Great Dane pairs perfectly with an Illuminating yellow sunset
