Pantone “Color of the Year” for 2020 is a Classic Hue
A colour instilling calm, confidence and connection
Last year, Pantone’s “Color of the Year” was PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral. The colour company described that shade as “vibrant, yet mellow [which] embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.”
In 2020, the company has chosen PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue as the colour for the tumultuous year-that-was. It’s not the colour that represents the year but a colour that perhaps we NEED. Classic Blue is described as,
“as a restful color, [which] brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge. Aiding concentration and bringing laser like clarity, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue re-centers our thoughts. A reflective blue tone, Classic Blue fosters resilience.“
