Brenda Combs, owner of Sensory Flight @SensoryFlight, won the
Pantone Soapmaking Challenge in 2021 with gorgeous gray and yellow melt-and-pour soap handbags and swirls.
This award is given for the best use of the "Pantone® Color of the Year" in a photograph posted on Instagram. The color of the year may be swirled into soap, the color may be used as a filter over the photo, or the photo may be edited to include the color of the year. To submit a photo for the Pantone Soapmaking Challenge, post a photo of soap or soapmaking to Instagram and use #NationalSoapmakingDay during the week before or the week after National Soapmaking Day. The submitted photo must show up in a search of #NationalSoapmakingDay to be considered.
For 2021, Pantone announced its first-ever color duo; the colors for 2021 were ultimate gray and illuminating (a lemony mustard color). "The union of an enduring ultimate gray with the vibrant yellow illuminating expresses a message of positivity supported by fortitude. Practical and rock-solid but at the same time warming and optimistic, this is a color combination that gives us resilience and hope."
