Hi guys
So we are here again, the start of a new year.
Thought I’d add my 2 cents to the hot topic of Color of the year.
It has been announced, the color of the year for 2019 is Living Color.
Various shades of coral, each complimenting one another. Working well with electric blues to subtle yellows.
Best described as, in my opinion, watermelon, this color invokes calm. Mesmerizing and sophisticated. It is a pink infused with an orange tinge. Enough of the carnival pinks and the bold oranges, just a subtle combination of the two.
And this color cannot only be found underwater, but all around in nature
Experts are saying that Living Coral will serve as a pick me up. A beacon of hope in turbulent times, where economies are strained and struggling, however no mention is made of the worlds remaining coral reefs which are dying. So perhaps Coral would have sufficed. But that is perhaps a topic for another time and place.
Creating a palette for the home has no bounds, as this color goes well with sage, yellow, tan, cream, blue and gray. The intensity of the coral determines the complementary color. A bright red coral is complemented with a bold blue, for example. A subtle coral goes well with a muted blue green. This is usually the theme for a coastal home, however coral used as an accent color, can create the feeling of sophistication in a city apartment or suburban home.
Think fresh, warm and soothing, all wrapped into one, just one color, that can invoke many emotions.
