Great Ways to Use the Pantone Colors of the Year 2016
By Aldrin Tirones & Anjel Elemos
In a bold move that aims to “challenge traditional perceptions of color association,” Pantone announced two colors of the year for the first time ever.
The colors of the year are “a symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude,” according to Pantone. Indeed, the choice of the warm tones of Rose Quartz and soothing coolness of Serenity have a striking sense of balance, telling of our times.
People have taken to the new colors like fish to water, but how to apply these new hues to your daily life? Here are a few ideas.
