Alternative Color Combinations for the Color of 2016

Last week, Pantone Inc. made history when they announced that The Color of the Year 2016 would be not one but two colors. The pastel combination Rose Quartz & Serenity aims to challenge social perceptions of color and embrace gender equality and fluidity. However, Pantone did consider other social issues to solve with the prize, including: 

• Defunded Planned Parenthood Cerise & Ongoing Lack of Gun Legislation Vermillion
