We鈥檙e a little late to the party on this one, but when the party is this hard, it can last a long time.
The Pantone Colour Institute announced its official colour for 2019. Sadly, Middle Age Father Who鈥檚 Basically Given Up on Looking Good Beige didn鈥檛 make the cut鈥� again.
This year鈥檚 trend-setting colour, according to the tastemakers at Pantone is鈥� Living Coral.
Described as an 鈥渁nimating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge,鈥� Living Coral is a bold choice considering the fact that actual living coral is dying off thanks to global warming. But we digress. 听
Living Coral takes the baton from 2018鈥檚 official Pantone colour , which took over for 2017鈥檚 Raw Chicken Wing Ecru and 2016鈥檚 Unlanced Boil Amber. We may have made a few of those up.
That said, Living Coral is not a bad colour. It could just use a more fitting name 鈥� such as Mom鈥檚 Got a New Boyfriend, or Retired and Loving It, or our personal favourite, Pink But More Nuanced and Complex... Just Like the Strong and Independent Woman Who鈥檚 Wearing It While She Watches Under the Tuscan Sun for the Umpteenth Time and Sips on her Third Glass of Chablis.
You go, girl.
