Pantone: Colour of the Year for 2016!
As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to the stress of modern day lives, welcoming colours that psychologically fulfil the yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. A Softer Take on Colour: For the first time, the blending of two shades – Serenity and Rose Quartz – are chosen as the Pantone Colour of the Year.
Weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, Serenity comforts with a calming effect, bringing feelings of respite and relaxation even in turbulent times. Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure.
