19-4052 Classic Blue is dedicated as Pantone colour of the year 2020. It stands for elegance, peace and tranquility , is timeless and brings clarity in our thoughts.
“Imbued with a deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, 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 communicaton.”Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone color institute.
As shown in my moodboard classic blue represents for me the depths of the ocean and the magical evening sky. This is a colour with infinite combination possibilities, which is well-known as colour for specific sports such as team sports, horse riding or tennis. Together with fashion colours or as technical fabric, it looks very modern and cool.
