They're not only in design and fashion trends... Through the Pantone colors of 2021, we can also travel all over the world.

Kijk-Kubus (cube houses)

in Rotterdam

Lisbon

and its streetcars

+ INFO

They were designed in the 80s by the architect Piet Blom and make up an entire urbanization composed of 38 cube-shaped houses inclined by 48 degrees.

It is a fact that Lisbon would not be the same without its characteristic and beautiful streetcars, which transport people to the most nostalgic era of the city.
The best known and busiest line is the one that links San Jorge Castle with the Barrio Alto.

Prague

and its creativity

Oregon

in the fall

+ INFO

If we think of Prague, we think of images of Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock, or the Old Town Square, but this beautiful city has many corners with a lot of color characterized by its creativity.

A northern third of the state and the southern half are full of tall, dense forests. These forests, in autumn, become a must for any tourist. A hypnotizing landscape.

Arches National Park

in Utah

New York

and its yellow cabs

+ INFO

This park contains more than 2,000 natural arches, the largest in the country. It is located on the Colorado River and looks like a postcard.

It is the city that never sleeps, and on its big blocks we can find its characteristic yellow taxis, as popular as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.

Leatrice Eiseman, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PANTONE COLOR INSTITUTE

"The union of enduring Ultimate Grey with the vibrant yellow that Illuminating represents expresses a message of positivity combined with strength"
