Remember how Ultra Violet was Pantone’s pick last year? Well this year, we’ve seen a major transition. It’s a color that has been carefully selected by the color company to create awareness for the changing global climate.
This year, Pantone has selected Living Coral #16-1546 as the color of the year. It’s a beautiful coral hue with a golden undertone. The warm, peachy orange is so subtle that it can effortlessly find its way into many homes. Vibrant, yet warm, this trending color brings solace to the continually changing environment.
There has been an increase in concerns for environmental sustainability over the last few years. This has been a leading factor in Pantone’s color selection since Living Coral reflects the underwater corals that have been threatened due to the change in climate.
The Pantone color also reflects the long and excruciating slog over the last decade; through political crises and financial market scares to environmental turmoil, the color signifies the struggle in a beautiful way.
