Pantone is a global leader when it comes to colour for design, packaging, branding, apparel, print and pretty much anything else that colour can be applied to. A faction of Pantone named the Pantone Color Institute is known for influencing seasonal colour trends across all industries, and every year they select a ‘Colour of the Year’, and they have chosen Classic Blue for 2020.
“For over 20 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.”
Stability
This shade of blue is said to instil confidence and calm in people which Pantone say highlights our desire for a stable foundation upon which to build the next decade of society and our lives.
“Imprinted in our psyches as a restful colour, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquillity to the human spirit, offering refuge. Aiding concentration and bringing laser-like clarity, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue re-centres our thoughts.”
The beginning of this new decade is a threshold which gives us time to both consider what has passed as well as look forward to the future. This makes Classic Blue perfect as it represents both clarity and reflection.
Timeless
In a time of change, this colour is also reassuring as it connotes a sense of timelessness and resilience, which is even implied by the word ‘classic’ in the name.
“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 Pantone
