PANTONE
While in 2019, the Pantone Color Institute opted for Living Coral as their colour
of the year, in 2020 they have selected the peaceful and soothing Classic Blue.
Reminiscent of the sky at dusk, the colour has ability to instil calm, confidence and
connection. Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, said:
“We are living in a time that requires trust
and faith. It is this kind of constancy and
confidence that is expressed by Classic Blue, a
solid and dependable 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.”
