2016 Pantone Color of the Year: Serenity and Rose Quartz

Like so many people, I get super excited when Pantone announces their color of the year! They really threw me for a loop for 2016....they chose a blend of two colors: Serenity and Rose Quartz!

Joined together, Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.

For the last several years I've been sharing pics of the chosen color paired with turquoise. This year was a lot harder, but I tried to come home with some examples! These pretty pastel hues definitely pair beautifully with aqua!

So what do you guys think of the color(s) of the year?? Personally I'm just glad we'll soon be saying goodbye to Marsala! ;)
