Pantone 17-5104 is described by the colour company as “solid and dependable”, akin to pebbles on the beach, or weathered natural elements that have stood the test of time, while Pantone 13-0647 is described as “sparkling with vivacity, a warming yellow shade imbued with solar power”.

It’s a classic combo. According to Pantone’s Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of its Colour Institute, the pairing is “practical and rock solid but at the same time warming and optimistic”. Let’s hope her words are somewhat prophetic for the year ahead.
