    Pantone Picks 2019 Color of the Year

    ...

    Pantone Picks 2019 Color of the Year
    12.07.18
    Pantone selected PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral – a shade of orange with a golden undertone – as the Pantone Color of the Year 2019.
     
    “Color is an equalizing lens through which we experience our natural and digital realities and this is particularly true for Living Coral,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “With consumers craving human interaction and social connection, the humanizing and heartening qualities displayed by the convivial Pantone Living Coral hit a responsive chord.” 
     
    “Color enhances and influences the way we experience life,” added Laurie Pressman, VP of the Pantone Color Institute. “As a shade that affirms life through a dual role of energizing and nourishing, Pantone 16-1546 Living Coral reinforces how colors can embody our collective experience and reflect what is taking place in our global culture at a moment in time.”
     
    Behr color expert Erika Woelfel recommends Watermelon Slice and Salmon Coral as “perfect” paint color matches to incorporate this hue in your own space.
     
    “In 2019 and 2020, we forecast color will become more inclusive. Gone are the days of bright hues only appealing to young people, or pinks belonging exclusively to women,” Woelfel said. “Coral is an excellent step in this direction.”
     
    In celebration of Living Coral as the 20th Pantone Color of the Year, Pantone has partnered with Tribute Portfolio, Marriott International’s newest collection of independent and characterful hotels, to create a first-of-its-kind pop-up pantry that will allow people to experience an immersive tribute to color at select hotels around the world.
     
    Together, Tribute Portfolio and Pantone will introduce a series of interactive Pantone pantries in indie-spirited and creative communities around the world, beginning at Art Basel Miami at the Royal Palm South Beach Miami Resort and then traveling to The Alida Hotel in Savannah, GA and The Slaak Rotterdam, in The Netherlands next year.
     
    For the second year in a row, Pantone has partnered with Adobe Stock to offer a curated Color of the Year collection to inspire and assist the creative community.
     
    Pantone has partnered with Material ConneXion, a global materials and innovation consultancy. By working with Material ConneXion, designers and suppliers can source the solutions that will meet consumer demands and deliver on their design vision while also supporting their business.
     
    In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Pantone Color of the Year announcement, special collections of Pantone Formula Guides and Fashion, Home + Interiors Color Guides will be available for a limited time. Guides will feature commemorative Color of the Year covers, information on the 2019 selection and history of past Colors of the Year enclosed within the guide.
     
    Pantone Color of the Year 2019 Formula Guides ($160) for graphic, print and packaging designers and Fashion, Home + Interiors Color Guides ($205) for fashion and product designers, are available in limited quantities from Pantone.com and through authorized distributors worldwide.
