Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year – Living Coral – is all about “a coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlightens with a softer edge.” This warm color tone does not just apply to fashion and beauty, but it can be a great accent color for a room. You just need the right piece to pull it all together.
