Introducing Pantone’s 2020 Color Of The Year: Classic Blue

If you are looking to be inspired heading in this new decade, turn your attention to Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2020: Classic Blue. This timeless and enduring hue is reminiscent of a starry evening sky and is a calming color choice to anchor your home redesign in the upcoming year — whether your personal taste leans towards the traditional or modern aesthetic.

Elegant in its simplicity, Classic Blue creates a tranquil foundation for any room, and is ideal for fabric and walls when paired with crisp white trim and gold accents, such as this luxurious bedroom design (pictured) from Stella Ludwig Interiors. But what exactly is Pantone and why should we take notice?

Founded in New York City in the 1950s as a commercial printing company, Pantone has since become the leader in color matching, creating a universal system that allows professionals in print, fashion, and spatial design to accurately match colors across multiple mediums. For the past twenty years, the experts at The Pantone Color Institute have hand-selected a Color of The Year inspired by thoughtful research on the latest trends and global influences.

In the year 2000, Pantone’s first pick for Color of the Year was Cerulean Blue, a soft and reliable hue on the light end of the color swatch spectrum. Therefore, it only seems fitting that the chosen color for the year 2020 is once again in the blue family, albeit a deeper and richer tone. As the name implies, Classic Blue creates a sense of comfort, peace and familiarity, and is the ideal start to this new era.

“Blue, from an emotional, psychological standpoint, has always represented a certain amount of calm and dependability. It’s a color that you can rely on.” — Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of The Pantone Color Institute (via Architectural Digest)
