The “In Vogue” Color for 2019
Color plays a role in nearly every industry around us, whether we realize it or not—from automobiles to home décor to fashion. And did you know that, each year, one group is particularly influential over what color we’ll see the most? It’s true. Every year brings a new trending Pantone Color of the Year—and 2019 is no different. And, at Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we know that many of our customers will be eager to get it in their lives. Read on to learn more and to get some ideas of how to bring it to your home!
How the Color Is Chosen
For the past 20 years, the Pantone Color Institute has tapped a new color to trend for the year. Through things like trend forecasts and color psychology, the Pantone Color Institute explores a variety of industries to collect “proof points.” They review the latest from the auto industry, designer runways, and interior decorating showcases. Once they identify the trends, they narrow down the choices.
This Year’s Color
Last year’s Color of the Year was bold Ultra Violet. For 2019, it is PANTONE Living Coral, which has a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge. Effervescent, yet mellow, Living Coral helps provide relief in a continually shifting environment. This soothing color encourages lighthearted activity, our need for optimism, and our desire for playful expression.
Adding Living Coral’s Hint of the Sea to Your Décor
Evocative of beautiful coral reefs, this year’s color can give you a sense of the ocean—especially if you coordinate it with a complementary color such as aqua or seafoam. You can use these colors on your walls, window coverings, custom bedding, accent pieces, or even kitchen gadgets and appliances. For example, you could get decorative throw pillows in aqua and throw blankets in coral. The possibilities are endless—in fact, Pantone has other suggestions for complementary colors; just visit their site to learn more.
