What is the meaning of the color Serenity?
Pantone named Serenity its Color of the Year in 2016, pairing it with Rose Quartz to reflect a cultural mood of calm and openness. The name draws from the Latin serenus, meaning clear or unclouded, a word long used in English to describe still water and untroubled skies. Pale blues in this range had already been used in nursery design and institutional interiors through much of the 20th century, valued for their calming effect in hospitals and schools. The 2016 Pantone selection brought the color into fashion and product design, where it appeared in clothing collections and home goods that year.
