PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral
Colour of the year 2019
2019 marks a vibrancy for Pantone that was missing from the more recent muted shades of Ultra Violet, Greenery and Rose Quartz.
A natural and energizing choice
Pantone has described the colour as “An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge”.
The colour is one which reflects nature and natural textures, which they feel contradict the digital world we are living in in 2019.
