living coral
PANTONE'S 2019 COLOR OF THE YEAR

In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media, we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy.

Coral emits the desired, familiar, and energizing aspects of color found in nature. In its glorious, yet unfortunately more elusive display beneath the sea, this vivifying and effervescent color mesmerizes the eye and mind. Lying at the center of our naturally vivid and chromatic ecosystem, Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of color.

Inspired by Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year, these accents pair well to create no-fail color combinations:

IMPATIENT HEART 0063:A free-spirited peachy-orange offering a fun, fresh, and edgy accent. With roots in vintage mid-century style, this hue pairs well with brown and gray neutrals, greens, and yellows.

WILDWOOD 0214:Earthy and real, Wildwood emerges from the ground as an accent for both warm and cool colors. Great with brighter colors such as yellow, green, and blue.
