One question that we have already received is: why does it seem like this color is changing between several different tones? Is it like an orange or a pink?

The truth is, coral is not always the same color! When found in nature coral tones can range from a gorgeous pinkish red-orange to a rosy pink to even a rare gold. Therefore, under different light tones can seem quite different.

Furthermore, many consider Living Coral to be among the “sunset” hues. Think of all the beautiful sunsets that incorporate orange, pink, red, strong pinks all melded together in a tantalizing way. If the sky can look so mesmerizing just think what you will look like in this color all 2019!

No ladies, your eyes did not fail you as you perused the title of this post. History has been made when it comes to next year’s selection of shades to envy and place on trend. As any beauty maven or fashionista knows normally one shade is chosen but next year two shall reign supreme.

Therefore, what are the two tints that we need to go out and grab? Pantone has selected Serenity which is a pretty, ethereal light blue as well as Rose Quartz which is a delicate light pink. We foresee both colors being a major hit during spring when fresh color is often much appreciated and considered en vogue.

Here is a closer look at the two shades courtesy of Pantone:

The color of palette of the two tints are extremely complimentary of each other. Nevertheless, here is why the pair of colors were chosen out of the entire spectrum:

Although not outrageously bold both colors can still take a style up a few notches. These colors work for day or night and can be versatile for dressing up or down. With such ease ensembles for 2016 will be a cinch.
