Living Coral: How to Add Pantone’s Color of the Year to Your Tech Life

In 2019, a warm, inviting hue called “Living Coral” crashed into the public sphere. This golden pinkish-orange has been used by everyone from fashion houses to graphic designers to furniture companies. But why has Living Coral become one of the most fashionable colors of the year 2019?

Every year, the Pantone Color Institute, one of the world’s foremost authorities on color, searches for a color that captures the global zeitgeist. The “color of the year 2019,” which is voted on by color standard groups from around the world, is determined by the palettes of emerging artists, the entertainment industry, fashion designers, and more. This year’s search also took them to the depths of the ocean.

PANTONE 16-1546, also known as Living Coral, is described by Pantone as “an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone.” Much like coral reefs provide shelter to a colorful menagerie of marine life, Living Coral provides a kind of intrinsic, familiar comfort. Its combination of mellow and vibrant tones creates a color that is simultaneously calming and energizing.

Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, explained that with all the pessimism, uncertainty, and cynicism of the previous year, people are turning to color for emotional comfort. “We are looking for colors that will embrace us with warmth and reassurance in our continually shifting environment,” she said. An equally influential factor in its selection was its natural origins, more important than ever as environments like the ocean degrade and humanity becomes increasingly disconnected from nature.

Regardless of what it personally means to you, the question that remains is how to get Living Coral into your life. The good news is that that color has become ubiquitous. Whether you’re looking for clothes, bags, shoes, makeup, nail polish, cosmetics, wallpaper, furniture, or paintings, you’ll be able to find Living Coral (though it might not be called as such) as a color option.

Now that we’re more than halfway through 2019, however, the omnipresence of Living Coral might be inspiring some visual fatigue. A bolder shade like Living Coral is best as an accent color, and can be outright headache-inducing when used as a dominant color. While Living Coral may be a sweet color, there’s a razor-thin line between sweet and saccharine. Subtlety will be key as you introduce Living Coral into your daily life.

Your tech, being a spatially small but functionally huge part of your life, is a perfect place to start. When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, many were surprised to find that one of the color options would be coral. For all its popularity in fashion and cosmetics, coral’s more “naturalistic” qualities made it a highly uncommon color in the technology world.

The more you think about it, though, it’s a perfect color for phones, tablets, and other tech. You spend a good portion of your life staring at them, so wouldn’t you want them to be in a more vibrant, energizing color like Living Coral, rather than a common, stolid color like black or gray? Plus, combining a natural color like coral with something as cold and mechanical as a smartphone has a fascinating, almost surreal effect.

Of course, you’re probably not going to drop a stack on a new phone or tablet just for its color. Luckily, ESR has just released brand-new color for many of its best-selling products, now available on its official website. These new color options are inspired by Living Coral and its summer-friendly vibrancy. Read on to learn what ESR products have gotten a makeover!

This mobile phone case is soft and easy to grip, making up for the shortcomings of the Samsung Galaxy S10 due to its very slippery glass design. At the same time, with a liquid silicone surface treatment, the interior and exterior have a very comfortable touch. With a pinkish coral color, it immediately has a summer feel.
