#colorsof2016

[From www.StyleCraze.com - World’s Most Visited Women’s Health, Beauty and Wellness Website]

With the onset of a new year, one naturally looks forward to everything that the year has to offer. One actively seeks trends in fashion, and even color. This year, for the first time, the Pantone Color Institute chose two shades that are predicted to rule 2016 – Rose Quartz and Serenity. It is quite a symbolic choice, almost like a snapshot of the happenings around us and an expression of the general mood and attitude.

Rose Quartz is a gentle, yet cogent tone of pink that imparts tranquility and benevolence. Serenity weightlessly symbolizes the vast expanse of the blue sky and promises ease and relief, no matter how hard the circumstances are.

Everybody seeks respite from the stress and strain of modern life, and well-being is the top priority. These colors certainly convey an impression of security and reassurance – spiritually, mentally, and physically. Together, these colors strike a balance between the warm embrace of rose and a cool calming blue, and manage to imply peace and order.

The customary grouping of Rose Quartz and Serenity also defies traditional opinions of color connotation.

Most parts of the world are now experiencing a sort of gender blur in the fashion aspect, and this has a huge impact on color trends – not just in the fashion niche, but across all the other fields of design. This autonomous approach to color selection coincides with social activities towards gender equality and flexibility. People around the world are using color to express their emotions with greater ease. This cohort doesn’t care about being judged and provides a new perspective to different methods of color usage.  

The world is truly changing. While one part of us seeks tranquility and peace, the other craves for modernization and development. Rose Quartz and Serenity are two beautiful colors that assure us that 2016 will be a peaceful, happy, and progressive year. Cheers to that!
