5 Ways to Wear Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year with Help from Goodwill

Every year, the Pantone Color Institute unveils its ” Color of the Year.” The color is carefully selected by a team of experts who study trends in art, entertainment, social media, and design from around the world. When it’s announced, the Color of the Year always has a major impact on art, design, fashion, home décor, advertising, and even the wedding industry!

So, what color did Pantone choose for the 2020 Pantone Color of the Year? In honor of a new decade and a new era, Pantone selected a timeless blue hue called ” Classic Blue,” which is described as ” suggestive of the sky at dusk” and ” instilling calm, confidence, and connection.”

For fashion-lovers, Classic Blue opens up a world of exciting outfit opportunities. You can wear it as a base for other colors, or use it to add a pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. The possibilities are endless!
