Classic Blue is the colour to look out for in the year 2020 and has been cited by Pantone as being the Colour of the Year. The colour is simplistic and elegant while being timeless and enduring, Classic Blue is a rich shade of blue, comparable to cobalt and somewhere in-between navy and royal blue. Throughout history from the Egyptian glazes to Pottery from the Ming Dynasty, this colour has been utilised in homewares.
Classic blue is a great shade you can rely and depend on to create a strong statement, use it to make a feature wall, layer it with lighter blues for a tonal look or have it as a bold accessory that will contrast a more natural backdrop.
All that is good news for everyone that actively adopted lots of greys, classic blue makes a perfect partner for those grey shades already in use, meaning you don’t have to change a lot to accommodate it.
