“Many feel compelled to be connected
around the clock because we are afraid we’ll miss something important. There is
a growing movement to step out and create ‘quiet zones’ to disconnect from
technology and unwind, giving ourselves time to stop and be still”, said
Leatice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. Color
choices follow the same minimalistic, ‘en plein air’ theme, taking a cue from
nature rather than being reinvented or mechanically manipulated. Soft, cool
hues blend with subtle warm tones to create a soothing escape from the everyday
hustle and bustle.”
En plein air is a French expression
which means "in the open air". It is used to describe the act of
painting outdoors and can also be used to describe other activities where a
person partakes in an outdoor environment.
Aquamarine An airy, ethereal blue with a cool,
dreamy feel. Invokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters.
Scuba Blue This cool turquoise shade adds excitement to the pallet restoring
our sense of carefree playfulness, while invigorating the body and mind.
Lucite Green A soft, serene green with a minty glow offers a
fresh sense of clarity.
Classic Blue A strong and reliable anchor to the color
palette that inspires calm, confidence and harmony.
Toasted Almond A sun-tanned neutral, offers timeless,
comforting warmth.
Strawberry Ice A light, nurturing coral tone that evokes a
feeling of being “in the pink,” emitting a flattering and healthy glow.
Tangerine An energizing, non-jarring take on orange that
adds a bold pop of color for spring.
Custard An all-encompassing yellow emanating warmth and
happiness.
Marsala This compelling and cordial hue that is much like the fortified wine that lends its name. The
color is inviting and exudes confidence and stability.
Glacier Gray A timeless and unobtrusive gray that adds a
sense of graceful relaxation as another practical neutral.
