Marsala is so 2015. Say hello to Rose Quartz blended with Serenity. Every year the Pantone Color Institute nominates a Color of the Year, forecasting which specific hue designers and consumers will be using, wearing and buying for the following year. For the first time, the blending of two shades – Rose Quartz and Serenity are chosen as the Pantone Color of the Year. Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times. Watch for this softer take on color to make a big splash in 2016!
Here’s what Pantone has to say about their two picks:
“As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses, welcoming colors that psychologically fulfill our yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.
