From Glossier Play to Pat McGrath, here's how to bring the potentially political hue into your everyday.

It&rsquo;s that time of year again&mdash;Pantone has announced their 2020 Color of the Year! This time around, it&rsquo;s Classic Blue, and the world-renowned brand has some thoughts about why. The deep blue color is &ldquo;meant to symbolize protection, stability, peace, and confidence, as well as encourage deep thinking, open mindfulness, and communication,&rdquo; per a statement from the company. Heading into the new decade, we couldn&rsquo;t be more here for channeling powerful, peaceful energy all of 2020.&nbsp;

Classic Blue follows 2019&rsquo;s Pantone Color of the Year, <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/pantone-colour-of-the-year-2019-living-coral" target="_blank">Living Coral</a>, and was announced alongside a &ldquo;multisensory experience,&rdquo; including sight, sound, texture, scent, and taste. It&rsquo;s the first multisensory color in the company&rsquo;s history, and the brand offers ways to connect the color to each of your five senses (it feels like velvet and tastes like elegance). Classic Blue is exactly that&mdash;a classic shade that belongs in every crayon box, living room, and closet.

You&rsquo;ll find Classic Blue almost everywhere, including politics. Blue is the color identity of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/presidential-candidates-2019">United States Democratic Party</a>, and is inherently political. In a statement,&nbsp;Laurie Pressman, the Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute,&nbsp;said, &ldquo;The Pantone Color of the Year highlights the relationship between trends in color and what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time, a color that reflects what individuals feel they need that color can hope to answer.&rdquo; As ideological division in the US ramps up and the Republican Party repeatedly strikes down legislation favoring women&rsquo;s rights, climate change, and gun control, blue is becoming increasingly associated with liberal ideology. (Not to mention, there&#39;s a presidential&nbsp;election coming up in 2020.)&nbsp;So&hellip; did Pantone go political? It seems possible, as the language implies a double meaning to the choice.
