Instilling calm, confidence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era. A timeless and enduring blue hue, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity. Suggestive of the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of this thought-provoking colour drive people to rest and by its unbelievably de-stressing action. Classic Blue brings a sense of peace and tranquillity to the human spirit, offering refuge.
As technology continues to race ahead of the human ability to process it all, it is easy to understand why we gravitate to colours that are honest and offer the promise of protection.
