December 6, 2019 • 0 Comment

PANTONE recently announced their 2020 color of the year – Classic Blue! Leatrice Eisman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, talks about the inspiration behind this color. “A timeless and enduring blue hue, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity. Imprinted in our psyches as a restful color, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquility to the human spirit, offering refuge…. 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.”

We love this classic color for a wedding or event and have seen it used for all seasons. We even use this blue in our dining room year-round for cocktail table linens. This bold yet subtle color is the perfect accent or focal point for your color palette. PANTONE’s palette exploration provides inspiration for color harmonies. Check out these past weddings for how to incorporate this shade of blue into your attire, florals, food, and décor!
