2019’s Pantone color, Living Coral, strikes us as a hue that adds energy and positivity into any medium. Sliding into the new year brings us a different set of expectations, particularly when it comes to design and creativity. Every year, we expect to see and produce something new. And each year never fails to show us the artistic abilities of creatives worldwide.
Pantone’s declaration to the conveyance of this fun pink color states that it is life-affirming, symbolizes optimism and sparks joy.
PANTONE 16-1546 Living 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, PANTONE Living Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of color. pantone.com
