Each year Pantone chooses a color of the year. They study trends and influences in fashion, entertainment, art and more to arrive at their selection. The colors they choose each year influence branding, product development, new trends and more. If you haven’t checked out their website before, it’s a fabulous place for color inspiration!

This year they chose Classic Blue. Who doesn’t love blue?!  My mind immediately went to the water and a feeling of calm. But more importantly blue goes with pretty much anything so the sky is the limit!
