10 Ways to Incorporate the Colour of the Year Into Your Home

Adios, violet! Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2019 is Living Coral (Pantone 16-1546), a juicy, joyful pink-orange. As the company tells us, this is a “nurturing colour that appears in our natural surroundings” (think gorgeous craggy sea coral), as well as “a lively presence within social media.” Whether online or at home, all we can say is: bring on the brightness!
