PANTONE® say dusky pink and lilac blue will soothe you through a frenetic 2016

PANTONE colours of the year 2016

Every year, the colour gurus in Pantone Towers unveil their colour of the coming year, setting the tone for colour trends in fashion and design. This time round they’re treating us to not one but two delightfully dreamy tones they hope will point us to peacefulness and tranquility in the turbulent world of 2016. Imagine wispy clouds in a dusky Summer sky and you’ll get the gist of things.

ROSE QUARTZ

Warm and embracing… Pantones-2016_04.jpg

Sandberg’s lovely Skymning get’s us drifting off into the calmest start.
