You’ve probably seen the Pantone Color of the Year—for 2021, it’s the pair Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. They make a fine team.

But as usual, I have something else in mind. A good name for the color is California Poppy because it is a love letter to California and its hills covered in wildflowers. It is both urgent and hopeful. It’s also just plain beautiful.
