They also advise brands by recommending palettes to help establish their identity and integrate the colors as a strategic asset. The Pantone Color Institute leverages the power of emotion of color and psychology in its design strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, the Illuminating Yellow (Pantone 13-0647) and Ultimate Gray (Pantone 17-5104) were set as the colors of the year. These colors were inspired by last year\u2019s struggles where social distancing became the norm and where racial violence has never been so topical. These colors aspire to bring hope and give us energy and clarity while we overcome the continuing struggles and uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Illuminating Yellow\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illuminating Yellow is the color of cheerfulness and energy; it imbues optimism, happiness, and positivity. This year, we hope to achieve enthusiasm from consumers by using yellow that attracts a positive outlook and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The yellow color can be very effective when used on food brands. Using a hint of yellow color can give your consumers a spur of positiveness and appetite. Familiar brands that use it are McDonald\u2019s, Burger King, Wendy\u2019s, Pizza Hut, Subway, and Lay\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also good to use in advertising goods for children as it reminds them of holidays, the sun, freedom, and comfort which they wholeheartedly enjoy. However, too much yellow can be overwhelming which may cause strain in the eyes, anxiety, and fatigue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ultimate Gray<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While yellow evokes energy and enthusiasm, Ultimate Gray on the other hand gives out the feeling of stability and grounding. It is a quiet reassurance that inspires resilience, professionalism, conservatism, and formality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the gray color can increase the consumer\u2019s trust in your brand. Famous brands like Apple, Amazon, Swarovski, and Mercedes-Benz use gray to represent their brand. It is neutral and timeless and has the ability to adapt the character of colors combined with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is perfectly possible to use and apply these Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Gray independently however, their combination will give out what we currently need at the present times: an illuminating hope and stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Use Illuminating Yellow and Ultimate Gray in ECommerce?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><strong>In Web Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To express energy and professionalism.
