2020 Pantone Color of The Year

 

Blue is going to be a big color this year! I was so thrilled to learn that Pantone announced Classic Blue as the 2020 color of the year. Blue is my favorite color of all time, and I’m looking forward to all the possibilities to work with this color.

It’s no surprise that I sneak blue into just about every project I do, and I think it’s because it’s so versatile. It pairs beautifully with just about every color out there—pink, green, yellow, red, orange, gray, cream, white, etc.

Renowned designer Mark Sikes has built his design career on his love of blue, and no one does blue more creatively than he does!

We decided to paint the dining room a beautiful deep blue, BM Hale Navy. It’s stunning! Here’s a sample of the color palette I’m working with.
