Rose Quartz & Serenity

For the very first time, Pantone has chosen two colors to represent the 2016 Color of the Year: Rose Quartz and Serenity. Set aside the fact that they are extremely feminine, but blended together these two colors are set to calm and soothe our everyday stress, and provide a sense of security.  Warm and tranquil, this year's picks are by far my favorite Pantone selection (can't say last year's Marsala did much for me) and I think they will do beautifully in fashion, home design, and event styling.
