Pantone announced that its 2020 Color of the Year is Classic Blue, a shade reminiscent of the sky at dusk.
Pantone has named a color of the year for more than two decades. In 1963, the company created the Pantone Matching System, a proprietary system used in a variety of industries such as printing, graphic design and fashion design to manage colors.
The 2020 Color of the Year isn’t just for the seeing.
In collaboration with partners across industries, Pantone created a multi-sensory Classic Blue experience.
It was, beyond dispute, a Classic Blue sight to behold. But interpreting the color through the other four senses is a far less objective task.
The official Classic Blue scent is described in part as a “contemplation of where sky and sea meet;” the taste as “flowering vines”; the touch as a “soft velvety texture”; the sound as “vivid nostalgia”.
Another interpretation: Classic Blue has an earthy, floral musk; a sugary flavor evocative of blue raspberry syrup; the feel of a brand new, plush couch; and an underwater, ethereal sound.
Each year’s color is decided through a long and thoughtful process that takes into consideration lifestyle and industry trends, said Pressman.
“Typically, trends that we see in color are reflecting big macro trends that are taking place in culture,” she explained.
Color influences can come from art, upcoming media, movies, lifestyles, socioeconomic and political conditions, travel destinations, new technology – really anything.

Pantone have announced that their Colour of the Year 2020 is Classic Blue: an elegant hue which evokes simplicity.
Suggestive of the ocean and the midnight sky, the shade connotes a sense of peace and tranquillity. According to Pantone, it brings “laser like clarity”, so any Classic Blue accents are sure to instil a sense of calm for you and your guests as you tie the knot.
It’s a shade which will work perfectly at weddings in every season. In the summer, the hue will pop when paired with white and injections of yellow. Think long Mediterranean summers, hints of lemon and parties on the beach. In the winter, celestial-themed celebrations will see the shade come to life in a whole new way.
