It is a vivid contrast from 2019’s Pantone Colour of The Year: Living Coral and 2018’s Ultra Violet, but we think Classic Blue will certainly set the tone in 2020! After all, blue is a completely tranquil shade that pairs well in a calm, serene space. A trendy hue for the upcoming 2020 season ahead.
