It’s that time of the year again when Pantone announces the colour of the year. And the world waits for this moment. Whether you’re a fashionista or just someone who likes colours, you have to admit that you wait for this moment with bated breath. For the first time ever, there are two colours that are sharing the coveted title and are giving us major throwback moments of the 80’s and 90’s. Make way for the chosen colour of the year 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity blue.
Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance of wellness and tranquillity as well as a soothing sense of order and peace. The colours are also associated with gender equality and fluidity.
The two shades are a stark contrast from last year’s pick Marsala, and they offer countless opportunities for patterns and pairings.
The fresh and lively colours are already gaining traction. The colour of the year 2016 was a part of Marc Jacobs’ 2016 ready to wear collection as well as at Sephora’s limited edition collection.
For those of you who’ve forgotten, here’s a quick look at Pantone’s Colour of the Year from 2006 to 2016.
