Seven Ways to Decorate with Classic Blue, Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year

The moment that design aficionados wait for every December is here: We’re talking about Pantone’s color of the year announcement, of course, which the company revealed earlier this month. The color you’ll be seeing everywhere next year? Classic Blue. In our fast-paced, ever-changing world that seems to feel more chaotic by the day, Pantone is hopeful for peace and stability in 2020 and the decade beyond. “A timeless and enduring blue hue, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity. Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of the thought-provoking PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue highlight our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era,” Pantone says. Sounds good to us.
