Pantone’s color of year is not a rule that has to be followed to the letter by the fashion, home decor and art world. It is meant to be used as fun way to be inspired. Just before the end of 2015 Pantone announced the 2016 color of the year, and this year there are two! Together, Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue make a calming, very feminine pair. Rose Quartz is the main focus of the two. So we will probably see a lot of this subtle tone in fashion and décor this year. The good news for florist, brides-to-be and flower lovers is this a very easy to palette to create or to complement in a floral arrangement for the home or in a bridal bouquet.
