Those of you who always keep an eye on design trends will know that Pantone colour of the year has a significant impact on fashion, style and design. The colour of the year 2020 “Classic Blue” was announced on Wednesday 5 December.
Whether you are a wedding planner, a headdress designer or a colour stylist, be prepared to see lovely blue bridesmaids’ gowns, blue grooms’ suits and headdresses with blue beads all the way through the next year. “Classic blue” is a very beautiful colour shade, somewhere in between royal blue and navy blue on the blue spectrum scale.
“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.”
“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,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Imbued with a deep resonance, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, PANTONE 19-4052 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.”

Blue always seems to be a timeless color that never goes out of style. I like the color splashes of blue in the tuxedos as well. This wasn’t as big a thing 25 years ago when I was married. I wish it was.
I don’t always agree with the folks at Pantone, but this year I actually onboard! I love blues, although no a particular favourite fan of the baby — it’s a bit boring in my opinion — but this! This colour is fabulous. I need an accent wall in this colour.
I love Pantone but yes, sometimes their choice of colour of the year can give us a bit of headache. I do like a bit of challenge though, you can always surprise yourself trying to use a particular colour scheme.
My wedding was in 2017 and it was blue with blush and white flowers and! I simply love the calm and elegance that this color provides! Gorgeous moodboard!
Thank you Daphne, the combination of blue and blush sounds amazing, I am sure that you looked absolutely stunning.
Blue is such a calming and relaxing colour, I’m not at all surprised to see that it has made a comeback once again! While I don’t generally use blue in my own home decorating, I have seen some examples of it expertly done at the houses of friends and family – it’s a great accent colour if you lean more towards a simplistic and neutral colour palette.
Blue is so a chic black alternative for any stylish closet. Is classic,is elegant and like I said is chic.
Blue is one of my favourite colours. I have quite a few blue clothes and lots of blue around my home. It’s a very calming colour.
The way you have everything laid out it almost gives it a romantic feel. Even royal! Looks very pretty!
Blue makes such a great accent color for a wedding! It goes with both white and black, is easy to use in accessories and decorations. I am a big fan of blue in weddings. It also screams elegance and timeless to me, which is something I think should be a theme in weddings.
Blue is my favorite color. it always looks very appropriate, I personally love it!
Blue is actually my favorite color, classic blue is just so elegant and timeless! I’d love to incorporate it more into my apartment
I don’t usually go with the flow with the color choice in Pantone but this time I couldn’t sit this one back. Totally love the color blue since it’s my favorite and already planned some things to get having those colors.
There are a lot of beautiful items here, I love the color blue so all of these are right up my alley.
