Even with all of the recent changes to royalty in the United Kingdom, one thing still stands: Princess Diana’s stunning blue sapphire engagement ring, which has since been passed down to Kate Middleton. This shade of blue is so striking and timeless that it’s been named Pantone’s Color of the Year; Classic Blue, or PANTONE 19-4052. Pantone chose this color for 2020 as it ‘instills calm, confidence, and connection and highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era”.
