It’s always exciting to see what Pantone chooses for the Color for the Year and, for 2021, we get not just one, but two colors. You can wear both of them on your feet, because Pantone has named Cariuma, the Brazilian sustainable shoe brand, the official footwear partner for the 2021 Color of the Year.
The two colors are very different, so surely at least one of them will fit its way into your wardrobe nicely. There’s Illuminating, which is a loud yellow that’s like a pop of sunshine, and Ultimate Gray, that’s an understated gray reminiscent of Earth’s clay. So whether you’d prefer a bright addition to your outfit or a neutral that goes with everything, you can shop the Cariuma and Pantone partnership of OCA Low Sneakers.
The colors are a direct response to the current state of the world and acknowledge a deep need for every voice to be seen and heard. They’re a celebration of diversity and inclusion. In embracing seemingly dissimilar, yet complementary palettes, we amplify the idea that our differences act synchronistically and elevate one [another],” press materials read.
