Embracing the Pantone 2020 Color of the Year: Classic Blue

Every year Pantone introduces a Color of the Year based on research and trends influencing marketing, fashion, and design. With each new year and new color, you may find yourself asking how to acquire a permanent piece to add to your art collection while still exploring recent trends. However, this year’s color presents a great opportunity with a timeless color; Classic Blue.

Pantone describes Classic blue as “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.” Making it the perfect color to incorporate into your art collection. Whether it be in a living area or in your bedroom, Classic Blue is a color easily incorporated into your home’s decor. We’ve curated a collection of works that showcase this year’s color, and we guarantee you’ll still love for years to come.

This painting by Teodora Guererra explores the best attributes to Classic Blue. Using illusions of water and seascapes, this piece provides a calming aura for any room, but especially entertaining and living areas.

Choose a piece with subtle hints of Classic Blue to enhance your already existing blue decor. “Select” by Ken Orton is the perfect piece for this job.

A great and easy way to embrace a color is to use it in subtle pops, focusing on adjacent and cohesive colors. For example, in this piece by Lisa Palombo, Classic Blue isn’t the entire focus but an accent. Place this piece in a light blue room for a fun pop without going overboard.
