#2 Color of the year 2020

Let's talk about the colors now.

Every year Pantone is choosing the color of the year, which will effect all the businesses.


This year is....


....The Classic Blue


The meaning of the blue color:


There is no saying associated with its origin, but all we know is that throughout history it was revered in Babylon as the color of wisdom, and later marched along as the color of the Virgin Mary, who wears a blue dress in most of the depictions made of it. It is also a symbol of St. Martin. This nobleman lived in Gaul in the early Middle Ages. According to the story, plowing a starving beggar, he broke his blue coat of arms in half and gave half to the beggar, along with all that half the coat of arms meant: half of all his rank and wealth. This willingness to sacrifice is symbolized by the blue stripe in the flag of France, which at the same time reminds the rich of their duty to care for the poor.


Blue evokes the color of the sky and the infinite sea, as the color of secular rulers it refers to the celestial origin of their power, in Buddhism it also indicates the infinity of the spirit.


This color symbolizes safety and stability. It symbolizes hope, fidelity, wisdom, trust, intelligence, honor, truth, and heaven.


In light of these, it is no coincidence that the color of men, especially the darker shades of blue, suggest purposefulness and expertise.


Frequent colors in the interior design exude peace and tranquility, but it can easily become boring, so it is worth enhancing the effect with brightly colored accessories. While light blue has a youthful effect, its darker shades radiate authority, making the room serious or even gloomy.


When used in the kitchen, it can be used to save large guests with an appetite-suppressing effect, if we use blue table linen.


In the bathroom, on the other hand, blue is a sure success, as we associate it with cleanliness and freshness.


The color blue is gaining ground again in fashion these days, in recent years it has been found only in denim materials. However, he is experiencing his golden age again, in almost every shade. Pastel shades show softness, serenity, but a royal or turquoise blouse radiates energy. Darker blue clothing makes our look more serious, though let’s not forget that darker colors also highlight our wrinkles. Unfortunately, those that do not yet exist 🙂


In addition to our clothes, our make-up and nail polish can also flaunt any shade of blue, but be aware that different shades of the same color do not always fit together.


Blue also plays a significant role in healing, it has a calming and relaxing effect. If we sleep badly from stress, internal tension, a bedroom painted blue can provide a solution. It’s not about the fact that the same bedroom isn’t suitable for anything else, so newlyweds should preferably avoid this color for the first few years.
