This year’s Pantone colors, the ones that guide the manufacturers of clothing, fabrics, kitchen appliances, towels. etc. are pink (Rose Quartz) and powder blue (Serenity). Didn’t you ever wonder how the companies seemed to have matching products that might be used in home décor or fashion? In the future, the colors will help date an item. Remember the avocado green and harvest gold kitchens of the 1970s or the pink Formica counters of the mid-1950s.
