The international color institute, Pantone used to announce the representative color of the next coming year in December in the past 20 years. Followed by Ultra Violet in 2018, Pantone has announced the 2019 dominated color - PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral.
The color is defined as:

An animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge

By Pantone

Hmm, you may still not understand the colour if just look from the description. As I see, the colour of living coral is a kind of combination of peach, orange, pink, and a little bit gold colour. We have love-hate feeling to the colours announced by Pantone every year, sometimes the colour is soft, just like rose quartz & serenity in 2016, even if there is no strong personality, at least it is easy to be close. Sometimes we get "bad luck", Pantone chose a "bad" colour, just like ultra-violet last year which very hard to match with any style. At this time of last year, I guess the OS in many people's minds sure is: "Who is going to wear this dark violet every day? Hope next year won't be worse...".

Yes, colour of this year is much better! It is bright and orangish, represents warmth and lively, symbolizes people's demands and desire for optimism. Just as coral reefs provide habitats and shelters for marine life; vibrant and mellow living corals provide us comfortability in today's ever-changing environment. While giving cultural connotations to the “vibrant coral color”, Pantone hopes to bring back the natural connection for people who living in the digital world through the vibrant coral.

Why Living Coral

Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute told the media that the environment is playing an increasingly important role for two reasons. "One is that we are too dependent on technology. Because we are so closely connected with things that are not real, we need to find a balance - to establish a close relationship with something real, nothing is more real than nature." On the one hand, "we are looking at the status quo of nature and the exhaustion of resources. When we think about the nature of world change, a positive and vibrant colour appears." Need to clarify again and again, Pantone's annual color is not a prediction of the trend, "it is like a colour snapshot, recording what is happening at a certain moment in culture."
