Pantone have recently announced their Colour of the Year for 2021 and for the first time ever, they have chosen two colours.....grey and yellow, a classic combination, perfect for any season or theme.
Reminiscent of spring and summer, yellow is the burgeoning colour of new life, whereas grey is a calming, soothing colour, the perfect partner to offset bright yellows. Here we share with you just a few ideas on how you can use either or both as part of your wedding day colour palette.

Yellow and grey make wonderful accent colours for the decorations on your wedding cake
Personalised Wedding Cake
You could even use these colours to showcase a shared love of Batman on your wedding day
