Pantone chose a Classic Blue (PANTONE 19-4052), “a timeless and enduring blue hue, timeless in its simplicity,” as the Pantone Color of the Year 2020. This color is inspired by the hues of the sea. It is the shade of blue that instills calm, confidence, and connection. This color highlights our desire for a stable and dependable foundation as we move into the new era.
The PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is a non-aggressive and a relatable color that lends itself to relaxed interaction. This color is not the one that comes to mind when you think of the color blue. It leans more towards Prussian Blue rather than being a classic indigo shade.
Classic Blue is in complete contrast to the last year’s Pantone color, Living Coral. K-pop makeup trends were inspired by the coral hues, with brands launching complete collections based on the color.
Pantone Color of the Year 2020 is not a bright or shimmery blue, but a muted and soothing shade of blue. The color is elegant in its simplicity and makes you think of the sky at the time of dusk.
Here’s a collection of Korean beauty and skincare products inspired by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue. This shade of blue makes a dramatic statement for eyes, nails, and hair in all the variety of finishes – from glittery and glam to matte.
