Pantone colour trends for 2016: rose quartz and serenity
Pantone colors of the year 2016 are rose quartz and serenity. These colours symbolise and embody key qualities that we’ll need so much in 2016 (after quite a turbulent 2015): balance, calmness, wellness and tranquility. Mindfulness and well-being are huge trends and these colours will offer much needed reassurance and security. When combined together rose quartz and serenity transcend duality and balance a warmer embracing rose with the cooler tranquil blue, representing connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace. Rose quartz is a good alternative to feng shui red colour of 2016, if red is not your colour and serenity offers a good balance for the fiery monkey’s character.
