Colors of 2016: rose quartz and serenity blue

Each year, the Pantone Color Institute, the world’s authority on color, provides color trend forecasting on the official tone that will dominate over the next year. This year Pantone named not one but two colors of the year for 2016: rose quartz and serenity blue.

Both belong to pastel colors palette and represent, according to Pantone, calm, tranquility, silence, and duality, as well as a reflection of the society we live in. On one hand, rose quartz represents femininity, romance and sophistication. On the other hand, serenity blue symbolizes tranquility and relaxation.

What is the best way to combine rose quartz and serenity blue?

The answer is very simple: these colors combine with almost everything. These are two very versatile colors that can be combined with primary colors, such as black and white, or metallic colors.

Coats, sweaters, jackets, and dresses in rose quartz or serenity blue will be the stars of the season.

Rose quartz and blue serenity provide great luminosity and are perfect for combining both gold and silver jewelry. These colors will provide a warm, sweet and feminine feel with golden tones like yellow gold and rose gold. But if you prefer a more serene and elegant image, the ideal look is to combine these colors with silver shades like white gold or silver.
