Last year, Pantone chose the luxurious Ultra Violet for their annual Color of the Year selection. Now, they’ve announced the 2019 Color of the Year: the bright yet inviting hue Living Coral (PANTONE 16-1546). Warm, smooth and joyful, Living Coral is an “animating and life-affirming” color that “energizes and enlivens with a softer edge.”

Living Coral joins a range of “Color of the Year” selections from other companies, including PPG’s 2019 favorite, Night Watch, to paint a lush and approachable picture of this year’s color trends. On its own or paired with a complementary hue, Living Coral is an excellent way to bring mellow warmth and on-trend color to your home this year. Let’s take a look at a few ideas for incorporating this vibrant and welcoming hue into any space.
