Living life in Color

Inviting, exciting, and playful: Three words that describe Pantone's Color of the Year for 2019. "Living Coral" is the name; Its an effervescent quench of tang and sweet sunshine... reminiscent of long summer days. If you're unfamiliar with Pantone's Color of the Year, its' the institute's (Pantone Color Institute) way of looking to the future of design, tech, fashion, and pop culture. Trend analysts and experts alike scour the globe for color influence that speaks to the time. This year, they were spot on. Why? Like Living Coral, there's optimism in the air. This color packs a punch; no winter blues here. We no longer need our faithful groundhog to determine if winter is staying. With Living Color, we can play up our desires and seize the day.

If you're an observer of fashion, beauty, and decor, like me, you've already noticed this trend out on the market. Here's a little breakdown of where you'll be seeing Living Coral shine this year.

1. Fashion: If you're in retail or frequent retail shops like I have, Living Coral is already starting to hit the floors. With the transition of winter to spring happening as we speak, this color is making a splash. And while the color might seem daunting to some, this color looks great in so many areas. From the minimalist to the trend setter, Living Coral can be worn as a statement piece, or an accent to complimentary colors that you already have in your wardrobe.

2. Beauty: Fashion and beauty always seem to go hand-in-hand. With Living Color, a fresh peachy glow takes on new meaning in makeup brands. Whether it be cheeks, eyes, or lip, the range of this beautiful color will create a youthful look. For something bold, try a coral lip with some light eye makeup and a bronzy glow. For cheeks, press a soft amount on the apples of your cheeks to brighten your skin.

3. Decor: Last but certainly not least would be to incorporate this gorgeous, vibrant color in the home. Waking up to accents of this tone will definitely make you ready for the day. For minimal incorporation, add some accent pillows, frames and vases to compliment your existing space. If you're dying for more color in your life, paint and larger furniture will do the trick.
