PM1 Design Series: 2020 Color Trends

2020 Color: Pantone's Classic Blue

Each year Pantone chooses a color to represent the zeitgeist of the color world. This year's "Classic Blue" is something we'll be using in most of our designs and it's close enough to "PM1 Blue" that it should ALWAYS be a classic!

If you're a designer put this one into your palette. If you're a consumer, take note of why everywhere you look "Blue" seems to be the color choice from candles and fabrics at Target to Magazine Covers and lighting washes.  Check out TIME magazine's article on the 2020 Color of the Year for more background and history, and Pantone's own writeup on how they chose "Classic Blue" and why.

For our examples above, we chose an image that took the Classic Blue shade as well as multiple complimentary colors as the background for our renderings. If you'd like to see what yours looks like, drop us a line - hello@pm1pro.com and we'd be happy to render it into the scene for you to present at your next design meeting with your teams.
