Classic Blue is Pantone Color Institute’s Color of the Year

The Pantone Color Institute has named Classic Blue as its color of the year for 2020.

潘通色彩研究所(Pantone Color Institute)将蓝色评为2020年度流行色。

The color offers stability and connection, said the vice1 president of the international sellers of color, Laurie Pressman.

国际色彩销售副总裁劳里·普雷斯曼(Laurie Pressman)说,这种颜色提供了稳定性和关联性。

"It's a reassuring2 presence," Pressman told The Associated Press.

“这是一个令人安心的存在,”普雷斯曼告诉美联社。

Classic Blue creates a feeling of great space, Pressman said. This color of blue is officially known as Pantone 19-4052.

普雷斯曼指出,“经典蓝”给人一种空间感。这种蓝色的正式名称是潘通19-4052。

Another blue color, Cerulean, was chosen for 2000. That was the first time Pantone announced a color for the year ahead. Cerulean is the color of the sky during the day. Classic Blue is the color of the sky just as the day ends.

另一种蓝色——天蓝色,当选2000年的年度流行色。那是潘通第一次宣布次年的流行色。天蓝色是白天天空的颜色。而经典蓝是一天结束时天空的颜色。

"We are looking ahead," Pressman said. "The day is over. We are looking forward to the evening. What's going to come?"

“我们得向前看,”普雷斯曼说。“今天结束了。我们期待着今晚的到来。到时会发生什么呢?”

Pressman and her team looked to the worlds of art, fashion and home goods to reach the decision.

普雷斯曼和她的团队从艺术、时尚和家居用品的领域中寻找答案。

At the announcement, Pressman said the color choice was not related to it being the usual color choice of the Democratic Party in the United States.

普雷斯曼在宣布时表示,流行色的选择与美国民主党通常选择的颜色无关。

"This was not a political move for us...We do not look at color through a political lens. We look at our life through a colorful lens," she told the AP.

她告诉美联社,“这对我们来说不是政治举动……我们不从政治的角度来评选颜色。我们用多彩的镜头来看待我们的生活”。

Pantone chose the color Living Coral for 2019 and Ultra Violet in 2018.

潘通选择“珊瑚橙”作为2019年的流行色,2018年的是“紫外光色”。

The timeless Classic Blue mixes well for both men and women, and for objects from chairs to cars.

永恒的经典蓝很好地中和了男性和女性,从椅子到汽车“应有尽有”。

Pressman said, "You read about buying things to last and this is a timeless blue...It's always there and you're comfortable with it, like blue jeans."

普雷斯曼表示:“你知道买东西要选耐用的,而这款经典蓝永不会过时……经久耐用,而且让你觉得舒适,就像牛仔裤一样。”
