Serenity Now: Rose Quartz & Serenity -The Colors Of The Year

Via Coco & Confetti

For the first time ever, Pantone has chosen two shades as the "colors" of the year. They are pretty, especially when blurred together. Black is always my color of choice, so wearing or decorating in a pretty pastel is not in my comfort zone.  If you are like myself, let's think about pairing rose and blue with a darker shade. Here is what Pantone has to say about their color choice for 2016.
