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.

Are you feeling California Poppy too? Here are some Etsy vintage fashion picks featuring this vibrant shade. You can see more in my Etsy favorites list California Poppy.
