The trend forecasters at the Pantone Color Institute have spoken and their crystal balls predict that the color of 2016 will be not just one, but for the first time ever, two colors: Rose Quartz (a pale mineral pink) and Serenity (a light powdery blue). While a surprising choice at first, Pantone’s annual forecast is a telling of our times. The decision to pick two colors usually associated with baby girls and baby boys is to upend the established gender stereotypes. According to Pantone, society is “experiencing a gender blur as it relates to fashion, which has in turn impacted color trends throughout all other areas of design.”
To celebrate these beautiful, progressive colors, we put together a list of gift items that will help you move forward into 2016!
