In 1999, Pantone – who are said to “provide a universal language of color” – announced their first color of the year, a hue of blue named Cerulean.
20 years later, Pantone are still announcing their color of the year, which is understood to influence product development and decisions in many differing industries. This year, the color is Living Coral; a bright coral shade, that seems almost pink. After last year’s color being Ultra Violet, this year is quite the contrary, being much brighter than the previous.
In the past, Pantone’s color of the year has become an interior legacy, and this year’s color has already become widespread. Would you ever consider designing the interior of your home according to the color of the year? With so many different hues and shades of the paints, there is plenty that can be done without being too bold and extreme.
