My 2016 Pantone Spring

January 07, 2016

Pantone picked two colors for Color of the Year - Rose Quartz and Serenity

2016 Colors of the year

Although I don't purposely design for the Pantone color picks, I do seem to get influenced subliminally by the retail stores.  It's because you'll find in clothing and home stores these colors predominate.

This is a fun post to create, because I get to play a shopper in my own store and sort of a detective.  So let's go see what I can find in my shop that use the new colors.
