. pAntone cOlour { s } of 2016 .

when pantone announced their colour { s } of the year for 2016 i think a shudder must have passed through anyone who has ever been involved in putting together a newborn layette range . the memories of the eternal search for that perfect pale pink . { not too blue . not too yellow . not too bright . not too dull } . & . that perfect pale blue . { not too red . not too green . not too bright . not too dull } . & . just when you thought you'd found that perfect shade . replicated onto the interlock & velour that were the key fabrics in those ranges it never failed to . well . just disappoint . 

and so . pantone's choice of rose quartz { P13-1520 } & serenity { P15-3919 } . colours that represent the gender stereotypes of boys & girls like no other . 

. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . 10 .

have we grown to love them yet ?
