Rethink color trends this year! For the first time ever, Pantone introduced a blend of two colors as their Color of the Year: Rose Quartz and Serenity.
Why is this year different? Pantone explains that as we increasingly seek well-being in the modern day stresses, we are also being drawn to colors that make us feel a sense of belonging and security.
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.

Rose Quartz brings out the love in our hearts, while Serenity offers calmness and reason. But it’s not just the colors: the combination also makes this Color of the Year special. The dynamics created by these two colors brings us a peaceful, wholesome picture of 2016.
These are also colors that can be easily blended into workspaces, home, and fashion.
