Exploring the 2019 Color of the Year - Living Coral

2/15/2019

Each year the experts at Pantone choose one color to be the "Color of the Year" along with a few other standout shades they are seeing used often and predict will gain popularity. For 2019, Living Coral is the color of choice and today John Elliott Interiors is here to share some information about this lovely color, plus a few ideas on how to incorporate it into your Lake of the Ozarks interior design.


Living Coral
Pantone describes Living Coral as "An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge." This shade is vibrant while at the same time gives off a mellow vibe. It's a standout color when you see it in nature and offers energizing and warm feelings in a mesmerizing way. At first glance, it might not seem like the most versatile color to use, but there are actually all sorts of possibilities when it comes to this fantastic shade.


Living Coral can be used as a focal point when combined with muted shades like grays, olive, mauve, and tan accents. Amidst the other colors, it is a beautiful attention getter. When combined with bright and bold colors, the palette can enliven a room and bring a wonderful energy to it.

Since this shade was named after the coral that lives under the sea, it is perfect for using in a nautical or beachy interior design. Imagine the different colors you would see "under the sea" such as blues, greens, sandy browns, and even the bright shades you might see on tropical fish that could be found swimming among actual coral.

You can even mix Living Coral with a palette of extremely bright and bold colors to bring about a wildly fun look. Here are a few palette suggestions from Pantone in the photo below, but this is just the beginning of the many possibilities.


Get Creative
When matching colors to create a palette that you enjoy, one thing you can do is visit a paint store. The cards of color samples can be mixed and matched until you find a combination that is pleasing to your eye.
