Living Coral is one of a number of 2019 color trends we’re looking forward to in the new year. Marigold yellow, a New York Fashion Week favorite, promises to infuse our 2019 wardrobes with bold, statement-making style. And the Living Coral color trend offers to do something similar—though it feels inherently subtler, sweeter and warmer. Living Coral’s pink-orange overtones and golden undertones offer a kind of balance that stark marigold yellow lacks; combined, they promise to leave our 2019 wardrobes better, brighter and more dynamic than they found them.
