TWO colours were announced this year!
Rose Quartz (Pantone 13-1520) and Serenity (Pantone 15-3919)
Interestingly, this is the first year Pantone has selected 2 colours, and both colours offer a host of possibilities in the cosmetics world. I can imagine a gorgeous blush palette with various Rose Quartz-ish shades, and Serenity would make beautiful eye and nail products. 😀 In one of my TBT posts, I guessed that Pantone might choose either a yellow or a blue. I got 50% right! 😛

What are your thoughts about the 2016 Pantone colours of the year?
stash matters 
Franky, I’m a little disappointment with the pantone colors of 2016. It’s still too early to tell if I’ll like these baby-hued pink and blue. I agree with you on the nail products. A pink and blue nail polish would be something I look forward to. .

I agree, they’re a bit uninspiring. Serenity is similar to Cerulean Blue that was the colour of the year in 2000. With ALL the possible colours under the rainbow, they chose this particular hue? I hope that Sephora will interpret the colours into pretty cosmetics!

I am loving both right now! The pictures that I have seen pairing them together looks great but I think I will gravitate more towards the Rose Quartz

Yes for sure Rose Quartz is the better colour out of the 2. It could possibly lead to some awesome rose gold type of colours! 😀

I didn’t even think about that! That is something I could look forward too!

Ha! I knew they’d do blue! But two colors, huh? Not sure I like that 😀
I probably prefer Rose Quartz as a makeup color, but Serenity as a nail color. Pastels, gah!

Got to love some pastels! Not the most original picks though compared to the truly impacting last year’s Marsala!… 😒xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty

I’m so confused. Are they still calling this THE color of the year? Can you really have two color of the year…shades…It’s a little strange.
I’m not wild about either of these shades but I’ve been a huge fan of the last three shades they’ve done so I guess it was time for a “meh” shade for me. It will be interesting to see how the cosmetics world interprets these shades!

Yeah it seems they’re sticking to calling it “THE” colour of the year. Those cheaters. Well, they are THE colour authority so I guess what they say goes. I wonder how they established themselves as the colour authority. Say if some other organization starts their own colour forecasting services – they could challenge Pantone, right?

In theory they could but I feel like Pantone might make the new company some sort of “offer they can’t refuse” or something.

Too much pastel for me. But hopefully the rose quartz will inspire some interesting rose-toned make-up.

Together it’s too much pastel for me, but on their own each is nice. I’m more of a fan of the deeper colours, but since the colour of the year has been a deep colour for so many years, I suppose they’re due for a pastel.

I am slightly confused that they picked two…and although I love both shades they are not very exciting. I remember thinking the deep marsala and that pretty emerald were very versatile but surprising shades…these are a little mwah. Not bad at all, just not amazing either.
