This is the 2oth year that Pantone Color Instutute has announced a Color of the Year. For the year 2020, the color is 19-4052, Classic blue. Laurie Pressman (Vice-President of the Pantone Color Institute) “It’s a reassuring blue, full of calm and confidence. It builds connection.” It is described as the color of sky at dusk. It is a return to a very classic, color, timeless and organic. Classic Blue will go great with the popular Farm House style. It’s like blue jeans for your home – it will go with anything you currently have in your decor. It will work as an accent wall color, a good anchor color for your kitchen cupboards. Or use it as accent in fabric, bedspread in your bedroom, or patterned pillows on your couch. The accent could be delft china pieces or indigo/white china or serving pieces around the home. As an appropriate contrast, Benjamin Moore’s color for 2020 is the First Light, as soft shade of pink. They release a whole palette of coordinating colors to go with the chosen color of the year. “The First Light is seen as a neurtral, subtle enough to go with anything, including beige.” I don’t think these two entities coordinate, but think about the walls of a room being the first-light-of-day pink with furniture the color of dusk – Striking! Another Color of the Year, is PPG’s Chinese Porcelain. They describe it as “a blend of cobalt and moody, ink blue that imparts calmness and restful sleep while also offering the spirit of hopefulness- a rare commodity in a restless world” If you are considering re-painting any room in your home – the paint company websites are a great resource. They show colors that mesh together to help with coordination. They each have amazing tools that allow you to take a photos of your room, then see it in a freshly repainted hue! Check out a few.
