What Is the Color of This Year 2020
Pantone
For the Pantone Colour of the Year selection process, colour experts at the Pantone Colour Institute comb the world looking for new colour influences, from the entertainment industry to fashion, travel destinations and socio-economic conditions. Influences can also stem from new technologies, materials, textures, social media platforms and even upcoming sporting events that capture worldwide attention.
Then towards the end of each year, a defining colour for the forthcoming year – better known as the Colour of the Year – is announced. The new 'it' colour is typically announced early December.
Pantone's Colour of the Year has been going for more than 20 years, influencing products across fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design.
Here we take a look at all the defining colours chosen by Pantone so far…
