Meet Classic Blue
Pantone is starting off the new decade by bringing in a striking color in the form of Classic Blue. Classic Blue is, well, a classic, and it’s fitting for a smooth transition into a new decade.
“Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.” – Pantone, Color of the Year Announcement.
How Classic Blue is bringing peace and confidence into 2020
This true blue was chosen because of its timeless look, simplicity and overall sense of peace. Pantone states that as we enter 2020 in a time of turbulence, they want to instill a sense of confidence and consistency to bring hope to the new era. Classic Blue provides that steady feeling people may be in need of now.
And, if you think about it, when you rock those classic blue jeans, you’re not only feeling confident, but in control of whatever you’ve got going on! Start your 2020 feeling calm, cool, and collected (and don’t forget chic!).
