As 2019 approaches, the design world turns to Pantone, the renowned New Jersey-based trend institute, for its annual Color of the Year. Following Greenery in 2017 and Ultra Violet in 2018, Pantone has selected Living Coral (Pantone 16-1546), a lively, vibrant orange hue. Chosen as a counterbalance to our digital-saturated lives, this shade "encourages playful activity and symbolizes our desire for optimism and joyful expression. It represents the fusion of modern living with nature's uplifting presence, both in our surroundings and on social media."
In uncertain times, Living Coral warms the spirit and infuses life with playfulness. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone's executive director, it reflects humanity's drive to reconnect with nature, drawing energy from the sea's invigorating corals. Integrate it effortlessly into your home with accents like an armchair, candles, or cushions for an instant mood boost. Brands like Aveda have embraced it in stunning hair color innovations. In fashion, coral has dazzled runways for years. Ready to embrace this energizing salmon shade?
