Rose Quartz and Serenity: Pantone's Colors of 2016!!



Pantone has revealed the colors of 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity!

A soft pink and a pale blue were selected this year - the first time Pantone has announced two colors! These shades are described as "welcoming," and "reassuring," and will, no doubt, be featured everywhere.  The color of the year is a macro influence, popping up not only in the fashion world but also in technology, interior design, and advertising - and just about anywhere else color plays a significant role.  These two colors have been spotted by Pantone's very selective, fashion-forward staff in more places than you can imagine, leading to their selection as 2016's colors du jour.  2015's color, a warm red-brown called Marsala, could be seen on popular websites, on trendy runways, and on ultra-modern automobiles before being named Color of the Year.  While specific colors become popular and seem to cover the world, color trends are fleeting, and as a result, specific colors become significant markers of certain periods of time.

  1. I don't know about the colors just yet... but I'm not known for my fashion forwardness ;) I hated on the skinny jean trend at first, but now over half my jeans are skinny!

  2. Hmm...those are pretty colors, but probably not good with my coloring and complexion. But very pretty. Also...I have to ask the dumb question, because I don't know: what exactly is pantone?

    1. I feel the same way, Becky! I usually need some jewel tones in my life to not look washed out, but I went for it with the blue tulle skirt and liked it a lot. Don't be scared! And to answer your question, Pantone is a company that makes a system for standardizing colors, so manufacturers from across the globe can create the same or matching colors without really coming in contact.
