Pantone has announced their choice for 2019’s Color of the Year – Living Coral. Since the Pantone Color of the Year has always played a huge influence in branding & packaging design over the years, I am looking forward to seeing how the new Living Coral color gets used over the course of the coming year.
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.
There are two main color codes provided by Pantone for the official Living Coral color. These are:
- FF6F61
- FF6D70
Those of you who make use of the physical Pantone color guides will be happy to know that the latest Pantone color swatches featuring the new Living Coral color are already available for purchase.
