The Pantone Color of the Year has been revealed — and for the first time ever, it’s two colors, not just one. For 2016, welcome Rose Quartz (Pantone 13-1520) and Serenity (Pantone 15-3919). The former is a light pink hue while the latter is a pastel blue/purple color. The world’s authority on color has been crowning the “Color of the Year” since 2000, envisioned as a reflection of culture at the time. In 2000 the color was Cerulean Blue, capturing Y2K angst. Since then, Pantone’s color of the year has been an effective marketing ploy to keep the 53-year-old company relatable, with endless collaborations with companies such as Sephora and KitchenAid as well as commissioned murals from renowned artists.

These colors chosen were influenced by current events and the widespread discussions of gender. Read more here.
