For the first time Pantone choose the blending of two shades as their Color of the Year: Rose Quartz and Serenity. A balance between a warm embracing rose tone and a cooler tranquil blue. Every year Pantone is announcing their color of the year to inspire the fashion world, the beauty world, as well as the interior world.
Those soft pastel tones are reflecting simplicity, but suggesting at the same time a certain character, giving an identity. A perfect balance for two complementary tones. Comforting, relaxing and dynamic,
Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet delicate powder tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. It carries a soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, tenderness and comfort. Rose Quartz also inspires the love of beauty.
