When Pantone unveiled their Color of the Year last month, we couldn’t have been more over the moon! Classic Blue (19-4052) is as described by Pantone,

Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.

This reassuring and hopeful color is just the type of subtle optimism we’ll be looking for in the year, and we’ve found a few inspirations for our readers below:
