Recognizing the potential, he developed the first chromatic identification system that same year.<\/p>\n<p>The system is both simple and effective: a palette or range of colors known as Pantone Guides.<br \/>\nPantone, the New Jersey-based company responsible for creating, communicating, and standardizing the color system used in graphic arts, has selected the colors it believes will set the trend for 2016 across all areas of design\u2014graphic design, interior design, fashion, product design, web design, logo design, branding, and more.<\/p>\n<p>While last year, in 2015, a single color\u2014Marsala\u2014dominated, this year Pantone has chosen two colors to lead the way.<br \/>\nThe selected shades are Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue, corresponding to Pantone 13-1520 and Pantone 15-3919.<\/p>\n<p>Rose Quartz is persuasive yet gentle, suggesting sophistication from a natural perspective and evoking compassion. It\u2019s the perfect touch of femininity, romance, and elegance.<\/p>\n<p>Serenity Blue is light and airy, reminiscent of the sky above us. It inspires calm, even in challenging moments.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Pantone Institute, the combination of these two colors represents \u201cconnection and well-being, as well as a sense of order and peace,\u201d and boldly challenges traditional color pairings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/fullpage_serenity-600x364-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160\" src=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/fullpage_serenity-600x364-2.jpg\" alt=\"fullpage_serenity-600x364\" width=\"450\" height=\"364\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pantone-2016-rose-quartz-casamento-prontaparaosim-6-600x450-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-161\" src=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/pantone-2016-rose-quartz-casamento-prontaparaosim-6-600x450-2.jpg\" alt=\"pantone-2016-rose-quartz-casamento-prontaparaosim-6-600x450\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the first time, Pantone has named two Colors of the Year, aiming to find a chromatic balance that conveys tranquility and peace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/bpb255.10com-pantone-colors-of-the-year-2016-serenity-rose-quartz-600x449-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-159\" src=\"https:\/\/codewebbarcelona.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/bpb255.10com-pantone-colors-of-the-year-2016-serenity-rose-quartz-600x449-2.jpg\" alt=\"bpb255.10com-pantone-colors-of-the-year-2016-serenity-rose-quartz-600x449\" width=\"900\" height=\"449\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 2016 Pantone colors don\u2019t stand alone\u2014they\u2019re accompanied by other shades that can be combined to create the perfect contrast, making this palette ideal for <strong>graphic design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PANTONE 16-1548 Peach Echo<\/strong> Orange has been a standout in both fashion and design for several seasons.
