PANTONE have announced the 2020 Color of the Year to be Classic Blue! In thinking about blue and how it forms so much of nature around us, I decided to take inspiration from the blue skies for this series of color palettes.
But of course, skies are never just blue. They are an amazing array of colors – from pinks and purples, to browns and yellows – so I’ve created this set of 25 color palettes inspired by spectacular skies, with the PANTONE Classic Blue Color of the Year as the initial inspiration.
But before I show you the new palettes, here’s a look at PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue.

I’d like to buy a print of one of these sky photos. Can you share where you got them? Thanks!

Hello!
Do you have the color names for the last color scheme photo you have posted? Thanks!
HI Kylie, all of these color palettes are included in the Color Catalogs and Color Cubes. The names aren’t standard but they colors do contain hex codes in the cubes. Hope this helps – Kristen (Team Sarah)
Great! Thank you! Where can I find/purchase the cubes for that particular pallet?
This is so very lovely! I’m wondering if there are palettes inspired by land animals (I saw the one with the coral reef inspiration) and space? I’d love to check them out if there are!
Wow these are all fabulous!!!
