Scouted: The Best Items in ‘Classic Blue’, Pantone’s Stable, Reliable 2020 Color of the Year
2020 promises to be a bumpy ride. Impeachment. Elections. It’s about to be the first year of a new decade and there’s already a lot going on. Pantone has decided to give us all a little stability in the form of the 2020 Color of the Year: Classic Blue. Classic Blue is not too dark or light. It’s not overly cold or pastel. It’s the blue you think of when you close your eyes, which means it’ll be easy to add to your everyday life in ways that feel meaningful and not fleeting. We’ve rounded up some of the best ways to make your life blue (in a good way).
