Description from Kathryn R: Granny Nancy introduced 2 Pantone colors for 2021: Ultimate Gray and Illumination - an almost neon yellow. When I saw those 2 colors together the first thing that came to mind was "I've seen those colors on the workvests of first responders and front-line workers!" Maybe it's a tribute to them by Pantone? I dunno. But another Pantone color is Buttercream; and I'm just doing an experiment to see these 2 colors together.

Maggies Mom says:Gorgeous!!! These colors are prettier than the neon yellow. POD for sure (I hope!)

dolllady aka Pam says:I agree with MM that it is better than neon yellow. To me this is better than black and white suits. Warmer and friendlier looking.

Granny Nancy says:Kathryn, buttercream and grey are perfect together. I see no problem with using discretion in our choice of colors when they blend. And besides I think yours could be a POD.

Crystal Canary says:How did I miss this? Such a refined & stylish pick! The pearls are soft & delicate, yet the matte Agate creates a casual elegance. Wonderful interpretation of the Pantone colors!
