Pantone 2019: Living Coral

Late in 2018 Pantone predicted Living Coral as the colour of the year for 2019. Pantone has been predicting colour trends for 20 years and bases these findings on influences such as film, television, art, fashion, social media and current changes to our social and cultural climate.

You might remember Greenery of 2017 and more recently Ultra Violet of 2018. Slowly but surely these shades have been trickling into our daily lives through the clothing we wear to our homewares, furniture and ultimately our interiors.

"Vibrant, yet mellow Pantone Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment.

In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into daily life, we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy. Sociable and spirited, the engaging nature of Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression."
