Pantone Color of the Year 2016

It is the beginning of the year 2016, so that means that we get a new Pantone Color of the Year - sort of.

Pantone, a world wide color authority, selects a new color of the year every year.

The color of the year is meant to represent the color trends for interiors, graphic design, fashion, beauty, and more.

This is the first year that the Pantone Color of the Year is actually 2 colors instead of 1.

Pantone has selected Rose Quartz 13-1520 and Serenity 15-3919 as the Pantone Colors of the Year.

The colors are meant to create a feeling of calm and restfulness.

Pantone purposely mixed a baby blue and baby pink to emphasize gender equality.

These colors can be used in rooms intended for kids or adults.

They can be used in traditional, contemporary, eclectic, vintage, or modern homes.

Here are a few product ideas that could be used in your home using the Colors of the Year.
