Classic Blue: Pantone's 2020 colour of the year

By Sara Duck
January 07, 2020

For the start of the new decade, Pantone has declared “Classic Blue” as its Colour of the Year for 2020.

We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is the 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. Imbued with a deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking, challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication.
– Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Colour Institute
