I love Pantone and have used their color system as a graphic designer for years. I always find it interesting to see what color they choose for the color of the year. Last year was Ultra Violet and I did see a lot of ladies wearing violet. 2019 is Living Coral. I am not a big coral fan but this shade isn't bad. How do you feel about Living Coral? Will you add it to your wardrobe or crafts?

The Color of the Year 2019 announcement is a landmark one, as it marks the 20th time that Pantone has made its trendsetting color prediction.

Living Coral (PANTONE 16-1546) is described in the Color of the Year announcement as “vibrant, yet mellow” as well as “sociable and spirited”.

“Color enhances and influences the way we experience life,” said Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “As a shade that affirms life through a dual role of energizing and nourishing, PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral reinforces how colors can embody our collective experience and reflect what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time.”
