Introducing the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year: Classic Blue!

Every year, the Pantone Color Institute reveals a new Color of the Year which influences product development and purchasing decisions in industries like fashion, furnishing, and design. The color of the year for 2020 is PANTONE 19-4052, aka Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue that provides an anchoring foundation for design of all types. 


Classic Blue is timeless and enduring, simple yet on-trend. It is a thought-provoking hue that resonates with us all and can be incorporated into almost any design. Pantone suggests pairing it with soothing colors like peach quartz (PANTONE 13-1125) and cornhusk (PANTONE 12-0714) or bold and evocative colors like lime punch (PANTONE 13-0550) and coralessence (PANTONE 20-0056). Truthfully, classic blue can be used in so many designs in so many ways. Get started using Pantone's newest color of the year today with help from a member of our graphic design team.
