2016 Color Trend: Peach Echo

January 12, 2016/0 Comments/in trends /by Jessica Swagman

Bright, beautiful, and playful, this softer shade of coral takes me back to those warm, long days of summer.

Peach Echo 16 – 1548, is a fun and versatile color that will work wonderful for a spring or summer wedding and will look picture perfect when paired with multiple shades of peaches + corals, classic navy blues, soft lavenders and even striking teals.

“The fashion and design communities, and consequently, consumers, have been in love with orange for several seasons. Coming to the fore this Spring is Pantone 16-1548, Peach Echo, a shade that emanates friendlier qualities, evoking warmth and accessibility. It is an all-encompassing, tempered companion in the playful orange family.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute

The first color on Pantone’s top 10 colors for Spring 2016 list is a romantic and delicate take on a blush pink, Rose Quartz 13-1520.

This beautiful and dreamy shade of pink is sure to be a favorite among brides this year and it’s not hard to see why. Soft and subtle, this color will pair perfectly with creams and golds. To add in some unexpected edge, add in some warm copper tones.

“The soothing, calming nature of colors in the Spring collections are led by Pantone 13-1520 Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted spring and summer months.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute
