About Pantone Color of The Year
For over 20 years, Pantone’s Color of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product packaging and graphic design.
The Pantone Color of the Year selection process requires thoughtful consideration and trend analysis. To arrive at the selection each year, Pantone’s color experts at the Pantone Color Institute comb the world looking for new color influences. This can include the entertainment industry and films in production, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, all areas of design, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles, playstyles, and socio-economic conditions. Influences may also stem from new technologies, materials, textures, and effects that impact color, relevant social media platforms and even upcoming sporting events that capture worldwide attention.

Where Can you Use Classic Blue
Blue is a go-to pick for bedrooms and bathrooms, but there’s a lot more it can do. Take a look at these projects to get inspiration for how to bring Pantone’s Color of the Year into your home—whether you’re looking for a big lift or a little one.
Use A Little As An Accent On A Wood Ikea Dresser
The RAST chest from IKEA is a go-to for custom furniture creations, since the solid pine is easy to paint and the price—just $40—is right. Instead of painting your whole piece, paint just a couple drawers in a mid-tone blue (try Peek-a-Boo Blue by Valspar).
Or go all-in with a blue dresser
Painting a whole dresser blue looks especially sophisticated when you leave the legs natural wood and add leather pulls, as seen at Style Mutt Home. This dresser project uses Deep Breath by Behr, but for a closer match to Classic Blue try Beacon Blue by Behr.
Lean into the denim color with a faux-denim paint treatment for your walls
This paint technique looks like wallpaper, but is way faster, easier, and less expensive to pull off. It would work in a living room, bathroom, dining room, or entry.
Punch up plain curtains
Blue dip-dyed curtains, suit a range of rooms: in a kid’s room, bedroom, but they’d look equally chic in a living room or dining room.
