2016 Forecasted Colors Have Arrived
On the heels of the Pantone Minion Yellow announcement comes the exciting announcement about the overarching trending colors in 2016. Each year, a color of the year is chosen by the Color Marketing Group, which is made up of trend experts from a variety of fields. This year, for the first time ever, two colors share the color of the year title. That’s why, at Bretz Interiors serving the greater Denver area, we’re excited to help you determine if Rose Quartz and Serenity will be good colors for your home.
Why These Two Colors?
Color is not a designer’s whim. Color trends come from where we are, where we want to go, and how people are feeling or not feeling. Pantone, the world leader in expertly matched color, says this about the two colors: They “demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.” The Pantone Color Institute points out that consumers are looking for a way to relieve modern stresses and to achieve balance. Other factors that contribute to trends in color include the economy, whether we’re at war, and current global and domestic events (such as the Olympics or the Presidential election).

Who Cares About Forecasted Colors?
All industries that produce a product for fashion, home furnishings, hospitality, and automotive follow forecasted trends. They adjust the colors to their products and locations; for example, warmer-climate colors may be lighter, and cooler-climate colors may be a bit darker than the actual forecasted color. Many people enjoy being able to be on trend with their clothes, homes, and even window fashions. However, if you find you don’t like the forecasted colors, don’t worry—new ones will come out each year.
