Pantone Color of the Year for 2016

Interior Designers Embrace the Return of Pastels!

For the first time Pantone introduces two shades, 13-1520 Rose Quartz and 3919 Serenity as the PANTONE Color of the Year 2016.

Whether in soft or hard surface material, the pairing of Rose Quartz and Serenity brings calm and relaxation. Appealing in all finishes, matte to glossy, the engaging combo looks stunning with all neutrals and even hot bright colors. Paired with mid-tones greens and purples is my favorite. Add any metallic for more splash and sparkle.
