Color palettes in 2021 will center on hues that make us feel safe and grounded but also inspired, particularly as we continue to live and work at home simultaneously. 

There is also a refocusing of design to simple, functional and clean solutions, said Color Marketing Group’s vice president of PR and communications Sandy Sampson. “Our work-life balance adapts to our desire to build new meaning with our employer and wellness,” she said.

Indeed, neutral colors will remain strong and rooted in the earth, said Color Marketing Group’s Sandy Sampson, vice president of PR and communications, adding, “Saturated hues such as orange-influenced browns and red-based blues connect us to each other and calm our fears of the unknown.”
