The Color of the Year is..............................
Updated: May 8, 2020
Drum roll, please... Pantone has chosen Classic Blue as its Color of the Year! This makes my husband absolutely thrilled as he believes the entire house should be Dallas Cowboys colors. Fortunately, as a Certified Home Marketing Specialist, I can overrule that nonsense.
Over the past couple of years, bold colors on walls have become commonplace in designer magazines and new model homes. Bucking the old guidance of using bland, light hues to make rooms look larger. Deep greens, rich reds, and even soft blacks are used in even the smallest spaces. This year, Pantone has chosen a fresh Classic Blue to inspire homeowners and designers in 2020. Classic Blue is just what it sounds like – A Classic.
Think of your favorite sneaker or school binder, and you'll be right on track. Described as a calming, familiar azure, Classic Blue is an uncomplicated, straightforward tone intended to provide a "neutral" backdrop for modern color palates and urban chic styling. Modern interior design has been trending towards more unassuming color schemes for furniture, flooring, and accents. Kitchens sport sleek white cabinets and subway tile counters and backsplashes. Tone on tone design with urban elements of steel and softwood tones lend themselves to this fresh blue hue.
Pantone suggests that the pure color palette of blue and white is a comforting return to more traditional styling and expects that Classic Blue is the perfect wall color to compliment the Mid-Century and 60s décor that has emerged with a modern twist. A great weekend project for a room or rooms, Classic Blue would add a fresh look to any space! Let's Talk Color! Contact me today Leigh Ann Anderson 469-951-6598 #TheAndersonRealtyTeam
I enjoyed reading about Pantone’s Classic Blue and how it can refresh a home without sacrificing a classic look. Choosing the right wall color can make a big difference in how inviting and stylish a space feels.
