Just as vintage is expected to be en vogue
for eyewear in 2020, Pantone has selected
a classic as its colour of the year for the
start of this new decade.
Classic Blue has been chosen by the colour
experts at the Pantone Colour Institute
as its hue of the year for 2020.
“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,”
says the business unit within Pantone, which
highlights the top seasonal runway colours,
selects the Pantone Colour of the Year, forecasts
global colour trends and advises companies on
colour for product and brand visual identity.
Pantone says Classic Blue is both timeless and
enduring and elegant in its simplicity. The colour
also “brings a sense of peace and tranquility to
the human spirit, offering refuge.”
As a tip of the hat to this new colour of the year,
here are some frames in Classic Blue.
