We are starting to look forward to 2016 and of course the gorgeous color of the year, we were even more excited when Pantone released saying that there will be two colors of the year. Rose Quartz is a gentle tone that conveys compassion and reminds us of the budding flowers. Serenity comforts with its calming effect and gives us a naturally connected sense of space. So let's start looking forward to moving from this 2015's darker color, Marsala, and on to much happier and brighter colors.

Pantone continues with colorful bright colors for Spring 2016’s palette which focus on a desire to breathe and reflect, then play. We are so excited for the soft and gentle tones that we will be seeing in designs for the New Year. The springtime means new life and relaxation and Pantone is definitely delivering with our new colors! These colors are meant to give us excitement and optimism and we are already starting to feel it at McCaskill & Company.

Peach Echo this is a shade that brings happier and friendlier qualities which evoke warmth.

Snorkel Blue this is a happier and more energetic form of navy which imply relaxation

Buttercup will bring you to a sunnier place with this shining beacon of color. It also offers a contrast to the more subtle tones of the season.

Limpet Shell bringing the clean and clear shade of aqua which will bring tranquility with a freshness.

Lilac Gray is a play on the classic gray that helps to bring a neutral into the colors.

Fiesta is energetic and vivid and encourages free-spirited exploration. It also gives a powerful contrast to the calmer colors of the season.

Iced Coffee a stronger neutral that can go through all the season with it's earthy quality and softness.

Green Flash helps to open one up to try new things but is popular due to nature's persistent influence. This color has continued to inspire designers.

We have so many gorgeous designers working in 2016's new and exciting colors! Check out Alex Sepkus and Gurhan's aquamarines if you are looking for serenity, Plevé has sapphires and diamonds to match snorkel blue and buttercup. Marco Bicego does a citrine and JFA has a gorgeous yellow sapphire to also help you brighten up with buttercup! Gurhan and JudeFrances have lovely turquoise to help you calm down with limpet shell. Pamela Froman will help bring out your fiesta with her dancing flame earrings. Erica Courtney always finds beauty in nature, like the color green flash, with her use of mint green garnet. These are just a few of the gorgeous pieces we have that will help us carry out Pantone's 2016 colors.
