PANTONE®, the color company, really likes the pink color of rose quartz. They enjoy it so much and find it so useful that they named Rose Quartz as their “Color of the Year” for 2016. [6]

It is nice to know that a company with a global reputation for its expertise on color has been inspired by a semiprecious gemstone.

Combined with their blue color named “Serenity,” the company is using them in a variety of ways that they hope will inspire students, teachers, artists, designers, and the public.
