The newest Pantone color of the year for 2019 was announced a few days ago.  

“Vibrant, yet mellow PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embraces us with warmth and nourishment to provide comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment…..Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression.”

Coral is a classic match with grays, crisp whites, aqua, turquoise blues and sage greens. I like that coral can be soothing or bright and crisp depending on what other colors it is paired with. 

Coral is a natural match with turquoise  for a summer palette .

Sherwin Williams blends coral with grays, whites, and sage or turquoise green.

I like this coral color.  Expect to see it in spring and summer clothing,  and home accessories.  I will be including it in paintings and sewn accessories this year. 🙂
