For the first time a blend of two colours has been chosen as Pantone's colour of the year. Rose Quartz and Serenity have been chosen as the PANTONE Colour of the Year. Pantone explains ' Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and even in turbulent times.'  I'm looking forward to combining serenity and rose quartz in some of my new wedding cake designs. The colours are perfect for weddings!
