For the first time since the printing/colour company Pantone® have announced a 'colour of the year' for each year, 2016 is the first year that marks two colours for the year. Next year, the two colours are PANTONE 15-3919 (Serenity) and PANTONE 13-1520 (Rose Quartz). Both are pastel shades that blend and compliment each other. Serenity is a light pale purple hue, and Rose Quartz is a pastel pink hue.
The two colours balanace against stresses to promote security and well-being, a sense of order and peace. Rose Quartz is a warming colour, and Serenity is a tranquil colour. Expect to see these colours used in the world of fashion, interior design, and other design over the next year.
Some past 'colours of the year' are listed below.
2015: Marsala
2014: Radiant Orchid
2013: Emerald
2012: Tangerine Tango
2011: Honeysuckle
