Pantone, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards for the design industries, today announced PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity and PANTONE 13-1520 Rose Quartz, as the Pantone Color of the Year selection for 2016; a harmonious pairing of inviting shades that embody a mindset of tranquility and inner peace. This marks the first time that the blending of two shades, Serenity and Rose Quartz, are chosen as the Pantone Color of the Year. The combination of Serenity and Rose Quartz was featured on the runways for both men and women and highlighted in the Pantone Fashion Color Report Spring 2016 with Emilio Pucci, Leanne Marshall, BCBG and Richard James, among others who incorporated this harmonious colour pairing into their recent collections. Playful yet sophisticated, this colour duo makes a striking statement on its own, though it works equally well as an accent when joined with other shades.
