For many years now, it\u2019s been unveiling its versions of Color of the Year and it seems that the fashion and interior design industries are following the trends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, the Color of the Year was Greenery and just last year, it was more eye-catching with UltraViolet taking center stage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Did you ever wonder how Pantone chooses the colors that they highlight each year? They have been at it since the year 2000. It all began with the discussion among 20 people and it eventually evolved into a team which became the Pantone Color Institute.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The process of choosing the subsequent year\u2019s central color takes almost nine months. The chosen color is actually a global expression of people\u2019s moods and attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following the color trends isn\u2019t new. Homeowners want to stay up-to-date with the current styles that they could use in their own habitats. And two months into this new year, you have ample time to understand this year\u2019s color and how you can apply it in your interior design.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Living Coral in Your Home <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So Pantone has finally proclaimed this year\u2019s color to guide the decorators, designers, and homeowners with their color schemes. Current events pointed towards <em>Living Coral<\/em>, an exciting yet subdued pink that would be great to incorporate in any design.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>UltraViolet, last year, promised that it would point to what\u2019s about to come. Many people did not know how to use this eccentric color. It became a trial and error of sorts for some.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pantone stated that Living Coral is meant to energize and it is familiar because it is a hue that\u2019s commonly found in nature. More specifically, this color is displayed beautifully underneath the seas so very few have enjoyed its actual beauty. A lot of designers are excited to use this rare hue in their homes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Living Coral is vibrant and charming so it could bring just these beautiful adjectives to your home. You can either use it as a bold statement or it can also take the backseat to become the light accent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Allow Living Coral to participate in the whole design harmony that you\u2019re trying to set up in your home. And allow yourself to be playful, too, as you experiment on how you can better use this lovely hue.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, Living Coral is, somehow, a shade of pink. What\u2019s great with this hue is that you can match it with many different colors. Even when it\u2019s categorized as a shade of pink, it\u2019s a mellow version so it is nearer the neutral plate more than any other color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Living Coral does not have to be used in a totally pink home. Match it with whites, grays, creams, greens or blues. These complimentary colors can help neutralize the <em>pinkness<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Add a partial or full accent wall then pair the color with pure white and natural wood. This simple ensemble will give you a contemporary vibe. If you\u2019re not afraid to play with colors, then go bold with the Living Coral being the anchor color for metallic accents.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Living Coral can be so beautiful inside the bedroom. It can be used as the color for the bedding or the furniture. This hue would surely bring restful sleeps in the nights to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to add Living Coral in the kitchen, then add it to an all white space. The pop of color will add the fun vibe to what is an otherwise neutral room. Imagine a Living Coral colored set of coffee mugs and kitchen towels.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re a thing of beauty, aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pantone is a company that prides itself in being the global authority when it comes to color.
