Grey and yellow are the two colors that Pantone chose for this year – they are officially called Ultimate Grey and Illuminating. This bold and cheerful color combo dictates vivacious and cheerful home decor that fills you with energy, this is exactly what we want after such a difficult year. Grey and yellow are a timeless color combo that was used long before these colors became the main ones but we’ve prepared some very fresh and actual ideas to incorporate them into your decor.
Colors And Styles
Yes, we have grey and yellow but they feature lots of shades, from dark grey to dove grey and from deep and juicy yellow to very light versions. Besides, these colors can be spruced up with neutrals like creamy or white, for a very fresh look, or they can look bolder and more dramatic with touches of black, too. Such a color scheme can be made more eye-catchy with navy or hunter green, with rust and some other colors depending on the color combos and shades you choose.
As for styles, this color scheme will fit anything, from rustic to minimalist, and of course it’s loved a lot for contemporary and minimalist interiors as it allows to make them catchier easily with a colorful accent.
