Pantone Pastels

This past fall, Pantone made their first color prediction of 2016, naming Rose Quartz and Serenity, Color of the Year. This was the first time the global color authority chose not one, but two colors to hold the influential title. Exciting, right!? So, what's their reasoning for choosing this delicate duo?

Pantone explains, "As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses, welcoming colors that psychologically fulfill our yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. 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." We don't know about you, but a soothing sense of order and peace sounds like a wonderful thing to come home to.

Here's how you can incorporate Rose Quartz and Serenity into your décor:
