Introducing Rose Quartz & Serenity: Pantone's Colors of 2016
Pantone threw a curveball this year, announcing that 2016 will not have one, but two colors of the year. A first in Pantone history, the company revealed that 2016 will be all about Rose Quartz and Serenity (think baby blue and baby pink). While each color leads to immediate associations with a specific gender, the combination of colors aims to challenge conventional gender stereotypes and establish a more fluid approach to color usage and gender identity.
