What will be the color of the year, even for jewels, in the 2016? The answer is: Rose Quartz and Serenity blue, a tone which is a blue similar to that of chalcedony. For the first time, Pantone, the company that specializes in color management, has chosen a two-tone instead of one (for 2015 the color was red-brown Marsala, while in 2014 it was bright pink, Radiant Orchid). According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, “Rose Quartz is a soothing tone, but delicate, expressing compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is light and airy, as the expanse of blue sky above us, and offers respite and relaxation feelings even in turbulent times. ” On its website, Pantone also displays a short video showing the two colors that flow seamlessly into one another. And so, the 2016 will be pink and blue. The choice of Pantone, of course, is not just about jewelry, but also fashion and design. Federico Graglia
