Pantone announced its color of the year and for 2016, it’s all about Rose Quartz and Serenity.
The colors are all about calm and mindfulness as opposed to the richer Marsala, last year’s color of the year.
So, pack up your brights, the trend colors are all about muted pales for next year!

As consumers seek mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses, welcoming colors that psychologically fulfill our yearning for reassurance and security are becoming more prominent. Joined 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. – More on the Pantone web site
