Blue is predicted to be a popular color in 2020, as three companies--Pantone, PPG, and Sherwin-Williams--have made a shade of blue the color of the year for 2020.
PPG's Pick: Chinese Porcelain
The company's website describes Chinese Porcelain as a "blend of cobalt, moody ink blue," and that it "offers escapism in today's data-driven society." It was also noted that the paint color was hand-selected by PPG's global color experts and that it "imparts calmness and restful sleep while also offering the spirit of hopefulness."
Sherwin-Williams Pick: Naval
Sherwin-Williams describes Naval as "a rich navy that creates a calm and grounding environment infused with quiet confidence" on its website. The company also mentions that the color can be used in a whole room, as an accent color, or on any interior space.
Pantone's Pick: Classic Blue
Pantone states that Classic Blue instills calm, confidence, and connection, and that "this enduring blue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era."
