Color of the Year 2019: Living Coral

As could not be otherwise, we premiere 2019 and once again, we welcome the color of the year: PANTONE 16-1546 “Living Coral”.

Pantone®, the world authority in everything related to color, has chosen a new color of the year for 2019: PANTONE 16-1546 “Living Coral”. “The coral tone, animated and vital that bets for life, with golden nuances that provide energy and dynamism, with a touch of softness”.

However, why? What is living coral? It is a community of organisms building unique and bustling underwater cities. The vivid tones of coral reefs are a visual representation of community, vitality and diversity. Here on land, this nuance also reflects our community spirit: through digital technology and social networks, our world is more closely connected in a network, but at the same time, this closeness online makes us want more authentic and meaningful interactions. This color clearly means that need for communication and commitment.

“With consumers craving human interaction and social connection, that’s why the humanizing and comforting qualities exhibited by the happy PANTONE Living Coral generate a positive response,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.

While PANTONE 16-1546 can be a refreshing and carefree whim to any home, it is certainly a staple of the Mediterranean, where brightly colored villas fuel our creativity. Below, you will find some places and spaces with tones inspired by Living Coral.

The house is located on the main channel of Empuriabrava, at the northern side of the Costa Brava. Central, but at the same time protagonist in the calm haven of the city. Intense and at the same time soft. PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral is a color of hue and contrast. This is much more than a beautiful rose: Living Coral is a reflection of the moment in which we are and a reminder that we must live in harmony with our environment and respectful of it.
