Color Game : True Blue / 2020 Pantone Color of the Year

Classic Blue, Pantone's color for 2020, is a great choice for the beginning of a decade. A clear, dark blue. Not indigo. Not cobalt. A Classic Blue used in interiors for decades. As Pantone's site states, "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." That's a lot to expect from a color. Let's take a look at some Classic Blue rooms to usher in the New Year.
