Join them together for on ombre-like effect, and see the stunning middle-ground where the two meet: the ultimate harmony in hue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By naming&nbsp;Rose Quartz and Serenity together, Pantone provides us&nbsp;fashion-obsessed gals with an array of opportunities, from sweet pinks to dreamy periwinkles. The duality of this year&#8217;s must-have palette allows for an all-new fluidity in shade&nbsp;shopping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The perfect balance of warm rose tones and cool tranquil blues, 2016&#8217;s range &nbsp;reflects &#8220;connection and wellness, as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.&#8221;
