Instagram post 2192008417732197890_611453771 The new colour of the year for 2020 has been announced! PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue is the Pantone Color of the Year 2020. Described as ‘A timeless and enduring blue hue, timeless in its simplicity.’ What do you think? It’s not a colour I have used a lot in wedding cakes, but this is a cake I made a few years ago which had a lovely pop of classic blue. #pantone2020 #coloroftheyear #sugarruffles #cake #sugarflowers #colouroftheyear #weddingcake #cakedecorating #cakesofinstagram #craftsposure #classicblue #bluewedding #blueweddingcake
