2019 Pantone Colour of the Year…Living Coral

Living Coral in LABELS & PACKAGING
Living Coral is warm and welcoming, a life-affirming shade that invites us to reach out and touch. Vibrant yet mellow, it embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort in our continually shifting environment. Representing the fusion of modern life, Colour of the Year Living Coral is a nurturing colour that appears in our natural surroundings as well as a lively presence in packaging and media.

Living Coral in PRODUCT DESIGN
Living Coral is suited for products across all ages and genders. By combining materials with texture and colour, it appeals to our desire for products that exhibit humanizing characteristics. The colour emits the familiar and energizing aspects of colour found in our naturally vivid and chromatic ecosystems. Living Coral is evocative of the diverse kaleidoscope of colour found in nature.

Living Coral in BEAUTY & COSMETICS
As a life-affirming hue that complements all skin tones, Living Coral brings natural colour to beauty in blush, eye and lip. Uninhibited, playful looks are also emboldened by Living Coral, which, as the centre of a plethora of colours, encourages experimentation in beauty with palettes, textures, shimmers, and sheens. The vivifying and effervescent colour mesmerizes both the eye and the mind.

Living Coral in FASHION & ACCESSORIES
Living Coral inspires experimentation and playful expression in both men’s and women’s street and runway styles. The warm shade suggests comfort and positivity in simple colour stories, but becomes more explorative & effervescent in patterns, textures, and even monochrome looks. An appealing accent shade, Living Coral provides a striking contrast across the colour spectrum.

Living Coral in INTERIOR DÉCOR
When used as a bold statement in settings and décor, Living Coral fosters immersive experiences and interactive spaces, tied to a playful spirit. As a colour linked to tactility and human connection, Living Coral in shag rugs, cozy blankets, and lush upholsteries create a warm, comforting, and nurturing feeling. With its ebullient nature, Living Coral adds a dramatic pop of colour to any room.
