The City of Earth is constantly pushing the envelope and doing something innovative and fun.

The beating heart of the Kingdom recently hosted the inaugural Art Week Riyadh which brought together local and international galleries, artists, cultural institutions, collectors, and art lovers.

Now, Diriyah has partnered with Pantone and released its own signature color.

The color symbolizes the warm tones of the city of Earth and has been inspired by the golden hues of the mudbrick architecture of the settlement.
