Dull but with a brighter outlook

Ha, so the Pantone colour of the year is grey! To be specific its Pantone 17-5104 Ultimate Gray plus 13-0647 Illuminating (yellow), “a marriage of colour conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting.” The combo makes me feel slightly queasy to be honest, much like 2020 - so perhaps it’s spot on.
