Living Coral Crowned Color Of The Year For 2019
Pantone describes the 2019 Color of the year, PANTONE 16-1546, as vibrant, yet mellow. We couldn’t agree more!
Surprised, was our first impression. This color choice was not expected, especially considering last year’s hip and trendy ultraviolet purple. Living Color definitely brings a new twist.
Why Pantone Chose Living Coral
Pantone’s 2019 choice provides comfort and warmth in our digitally focused environment. They understand that social media has increasingly become a part of our daily life. Pantone explains “we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy”.
Living Coral is a sociable, playful, yet nurturing color that appears in our natural surroundings. From the obvious places like seashells and coral to other natural elements like the grand canyon, flower petals, and sunsets, this hue can be found in the most beautiful places.

Painting Your Walls Living Coral
If you absolutely love this new color, try using it in your dining room or office. Living Color pairs well with a room in your home where you want to be embraced with warmth and nourishment. This life-affirming coral hue brings a sense of energy and comfort to a space.
Some people may find this color overbearing or loud, so we suggest to play the color down by painting it on the walls in a smaller space. Living Coral is a perfect wall color for a bathroom. Who doesn’t love a beach themed bathroom?
Add Living Coral Accents
If you do not want to be as bold as painting your bathroom or office, consider adding small pops of “Living Coral” through your interior design. Lighting fixtures, backsplash tiles and hardware are nice little touches that do not demand your attention in a room. We even design a brick wall with a coral hue as a nice accent.
