Pantone Color of the Year 2016 Rose Quartz and Serenity

The announcement of Rose Quartz and Serenity as Pantone Color of the Year 2016 proves beautiful and colorful things come in pairs.

This is the first time in the history of Pantone Color of the Year selections that two different colors have been selected.

The words rose and serenity evoke delightful impressions.

I immediately connected the Color of the Year 2016 selections with the sentiments of the holiday season.

Romance.

Peace.

Calm.

Tranquility.

Kindness.

Gentleness.

A color coincidence perhaps, but doesn’t it make for a lovely association?

With a delicate balance of tranquil tone and soft hint of periwinkle perfection, Pantone Serenity becomes the perfect Peace on Earth holiday color palette.

“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.”

Radiant orchid is no shrinking violet in the grand color scheme of  primary or accent things.  I’m most excited to see color, radiant color, take its rightful place on the stage shared and paired with neutral palettes and the decorative darling duo,  black and white.  A hint, a splash or a pop of color often completes the look of the space, and bravo to that!
