Everyone needs a little pick-me-up now and then — a refreshing cocktail,
uplifting music, a snazzy new outfit, or a vibrant pop of color at home or in a
work space. The end result is a happier outlook.
Pantone’s Color of the Year Living Coral evokes a sunset and under-the-sea
coral reefs. It has been described as a warm and welcoming, reach-out-and
touch shade that looks great in any room. And It complements cooler hues like
blues and blue greens, as well as browns, beiges, and tans. A perfect summery
hue, it’s an organic, nurturing color that appears in natural surroundings.
“We are all happy in sunshine or on vacation and that is the spirit of the color,”
says local designer Wendy Lepkoff of Wendy interiors. “Using it on a chair,
pillows, accent wall, or curtains combined with the color of sand and a blue
ocean transports you to a tropical island.”
