“But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not a simple blue, it is not turquoise, it is not lapis, it is actually cerulean“, so Miranda Priestly told Andrea in the film the Devil wears Prada, and this is how we describe ourselves today the new color of the year 2020. It is not a simple blue, but a Classic Blue, a shade of intense blue that comes close to indigo, a classic color reminiscent of the blue of a tailored suit and the twilight sky. A deeply relaxing and recognizable nuance that inaugurates the new decade after the explosion of energy and vitality of the Living Coral in 2019.
The pantone color Classic Blue used for a make up idea
Called Classic Blue 19-4052 by the Pantone Color Institute, it will represent the compass of the style of the next 12 months, although as often happened, fashion already had it anticipating on the spring / summer 2020 catwalks in the collections of Badgley Mischa, Salvatore Ferragamo and Marco De Vincenzo. Actress Gemma Chan (from Crazy Rich Asians) also wore a classic blue dress by Valentino Couture on the red carpet at the Golden Globes on 7 January 2019.
“We live in a moment that requires trust and faith. I believe that this kind of constancy and trust is well expressed by the Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and deep blue on which we can always rely“, says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute.
A color that, despite being within the range of cold colors, knows how to be warm and moving.
