Described by the colour authority as “timeless” and “enduring” and “instilling calm, confidence, and connection”, Classic Blue is comparable to a more organic hue seen in the night sky. While using the Classic Blue colour in generous amounts can create a dramatic effect, with colour-on-colour schemes and floor-to-ceiling painted walls, the simple shade also provides a fitting accent colour for more pared-back interiors. Whether used as a colourway for upholstered accessories such as loveseats, bar stools and chaise lounges or scattered in the form of smaller accessories, Classic Blue is the ideal colour for both vibrant and energetic briefs and projects requiring a more diluted, calm ambience.

“We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on. Imbued with deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking...”
