Rose Quartz And Serenity Blue For 2016

Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue are Pantone 2016 color of the year!  Pantone, the leading authority on color, made the announcement early this morning.

It’s twins!  This is the first time Pantone has chosen two colors to share the spotlight.

This is a softer take on color for 2016 and I LOVE it!

Pink is my signature color.  Rose Quartz is very close to the blush pink in my blog heading and the background design.

Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue are meant to be used in conjunction with one another.

The Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute describes Rose Quartz and Serenity as “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”.

Homeowners often tell me they want their rooms to be warm, inviting and peaceful.

We are looking to our home to be a secure and calm respite away from the modern day stresses of the world.

That’s what your home should be. A place to be at ease and be nourished by an inviting environment.

We’re looking to our homes for comfort and relaxation, a quieter feeling, like a serene sunset.

Pantone 2015 Color of the Year

This past year’s color was Marsala.  A redish brick color that is welcoming and friendly.  Marsala works nicely with the softness of Rose Quartz.  Serenity used as a contrasting accent color would balance out the color scheme.

For 2016, I’ll keep a close watch on Rose Quartz and Serenity.
