Living Coral Edit

With the warmest February day on record it seems appropriate to be talking summery colour this week. I thought I'd take some time out to look at Pantone's new Colour of the Year for 2019, Living Coral.

Pantone have picked up on our need for something joyful to take us away from 'the onslaught of digital technology and social media'. Described as 'an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge' by Pantone, Living Coral offers the positive and optimistic feel of 2018's popular hit colour Gen-Z yellow but with a softer more calming vibe.

Living Coral will certainly be easier to use in greetings and stationery than last year's choice of Ultra Violet which pretty much clashed with anything seasonal. Think coral colour hearts for love captions, beautiful warm toned flowers for Mother's Day, flamingos, summery watermelon, sunsets, confectionary and more. I'm looking forward to seeing this colour trend develop over the coming year. Lovely coral hue favourites below.
