Blue is the colour for 2020 homes and interiors
Dec 5, 2019
The Pantone Colour Institute forecasts global colour trends and advises companies on colour for product and brand visual identity and 'Pantone' has become the universal language of colour. The company has announced that its Colour of the Year for 2020 is Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue: a ‘timeless and enduring blue hue’.
The annual colour forecast influences product development and purchasing decisions in fashion, home furnishings, industrial design, product packaging and graphic design.
According to Pantone, this blue instils calm, confidence and connection and highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.
As technology continues to race ahead of the human ability to process it all, it is easy to understand why we gravitate to colours that are honest and offer the promise of protection. To arrive at the selection each year, Pantone combs the world looking for new colour influences.
This can include the entertainment industry and films in production, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, all areas of design, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles, playstyles, and socio-economic conditions.
Influences may also stem from new technologies, materials, textures and effects that impact colour, relevant social media platforms and even upcoming sporting events that capture worldwide attention.
It’s the colour of the ocean, the sky at dusk, blueberries and blue jeans and works just as well on an item of clothing as it does on an accent wall in your kitchen. So now we know it’s highly likely that coastal-inspired colours will be hot for the next few years.
