Pantone 16-1546: Living Coral

The Pantone Color Institute describes Living Coral as “evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of [color]”. Vibrant yet mellow, it provides warmth and nourishment to comfort and buoy anyone in an environment that continuously shifts.

Said to be a reaction to digital technology and social media’s increasing grasp on daily life, Living Coral embodies the desire for authentic, immersive connections and joyful pursuits, welcoming and encouraging lighthearted activity. It’s a fusion of modern life, appearing in the natural environment while representing a lively presence in social media.

Designing With Living Coral: Some Tips

Though not glaring, Living Coral is still bright color, which will make a lot of people utilize it as an accent color, used to add just the right pop of color in a room. However, it can also be used on a larger scale. To effectively make use of the 2019 Color of the Year, consider these tips:

Living Coral plays well with monochromatic interiors, but it also complements greens and blues in settings with multiple hues.
With Living Coral on the walls, you can add bolder window treatments like graphic black and white curtains to make the coral shade feel stronger and lend a bit of an edge to an inviting space.
