Pantone Announces Two Colors of the Year 2016

Hello friends! Did you hear the latest big announcement in color? Yes the color gurus at Pantone have spoken and just announced the Colors of the Year 2016! They’ve named Rose Quartz and Serenity as the two colors that will reign supreme next year.

This is why I’m so excited about this announcement: for the first time in history Pantone has named not just one but two Colors of the Year:  soft pink Rose Quartz and light blue Serenity. And the reasons couldn’t be more relevant.

Pantone's Colors of the Year 2016 are Rose Quartz and Serenity! See how to use them in your home with these do-able decor ideas! www.settingforfour.com

According to a release from the brand the choice of these two colors responds to “Societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity, the consumer’s increased comfort with using color as a form of expression, [and] a generation that has less concern about being typecast or judged and an open exchange of digital information that has opened our eyes to different approaches to color usage.”

These two colors aim at creating a relaxing and calm environment and feeling….and I believe they do!

Personally I think that rose quartz is a color I’ll be using in my home – it’s a great color to mix with neutrals and the black and white color palette I love. I think it will be showing up in pillows, throws and dinnerware. 

Serenity is growing on me….I like it in a version that’s less ‘baby blue’ and more of a ‘greyish blue’. Serenity is also a great color to mix with neutrals!
