MANILA, Dec. 7 (PNA)\u2014Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color, has revealed for the first time two colors of the year for 2016.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s bid farewell to 2015\u2019s wine red Marsala (18-1438) and embrace the softer side of 2016\u2019s colors of Rose Quartz (13-1520) and Serenity (15-3919), which will be prevalent in fashion, design, furniture, and everything in between.<\/p>\n

According to the color authorities of Pantone, the blending of Rose Quartz and Serenity \u201cbrings calm and relaxation\u201d which can be appealing to customers who seek an antidote to modern day stresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoined 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,\u201d said Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman.<\/p>\n

Pantone noted that Rose Quartz conveys \u201ccompassion\u201d and a \u201csense of composure\u201d with its persuasive yet gentle tone.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Serenity brings \u201cfeelings of respite and relaxation\u201d even in turbulent times with its weightless and airy nature, akin to the expansive blue sky above.<\/p>\n

Aside from the calm and relaxation the colors bring, the blending of the two shades disrupts conventions about color association by promoting gender fluidity.<\/p>\n

Many parts of the world have reduced the sexual divide by blurring gender lines in fashion, which also caused ripples throughout all other areas of design with its impact on color trends, thereby muddling the demarcation between conventionally feminine and masculine colors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis more unilateral approach to color is coinciding with societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity, the consumer\u2019s increased comfort with using color as a form of expression, a generation that has less concern about being typecast or judged and an open exchange of digital information that has opened our eyes to different approaches to color usage,\u201d Pantone said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Annually, Pantone names a particular \u201cColor of the Year\u201d, which is determined through a secret meeting of representatives from various nations\u2019 color standards groups.<\/p>\n

Colors chosen by Pantone in previous years were 2000\u2019s Cerulean, 2001\u2019s Fuschia Rose, 2002\u2019s True Red, 2003\u2019s Aqua Sky, 2004\u2019s Tigerlily, 2005\u2019s Blue Turquoise, 2006\u2019s Sand Dollar, 2007\u2019s Chili Pepper, 2008\u2019s Blue Iris, 2009\u2019s Mimosa, 2010\u2019s Turquoise, 2011\u2019s Honeysuckle, 2012\u2019s Tangerine Tango, 2013\u2019s Emerald, 2014\u2019s Radiant Orchid, and 2015\u2019s Marsala.
