Every December, Pantone announces the colour of the following year. This impacts the world in many ways. From fashion trends to home décor, you’ll find this colour virtually (pin intended!) everywhere.

For 2020, that colour is Classic Blue.

“We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on.”
-Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of The Pantone Color Institute™

This classic blue is elegant yet simple. Bold yet calming.

The Impact on Shopping

Pantone has been selecting colors of the year for two decades and this isn’t something to be taken lightly. Their selection is seen in the things you buy and wear and affects trends; it’s that impactful.

Fashion

Classic blue gives off a self-assured vibe, a poised confidence if you will. It’s elegant yet simple. It’s a perfect foundational colour you can use to either make a statement or to mix-and-match with many other colours.
