Pantone 2019 Color of the Year has come out and they’ve named Living Coral as their muse! Check out our bead and supply selection to play off this moving color!
Living Coral
Living Coral is a social statement that humanizes the consumers. It also mimics the literal meaning of coral reefs and how it gives home to a translucent array of colors, species and size. How would you define Living Coral?

Product Selection
Here, we’ve taken the color of Coral and found products that are similar in color to help with your inspired, Color of the Year designs. For gemstones, we chose Cherry Quartz that has a similar hue or Red Avertine like this collar pendant. Another thought I had when first looking at Living Coral, was how it reminded me of Rose Gold. So some Rose Gold Hematite beads would work nicely also. Even check out Swarovski Pearl – Coral, it’s similarity is close also.

Living Coral Pearl Earrings
We made a simple pair of earrings using Swarovski Pearl – Coral. And because coral reefs have porous corals, we accented the pearl with porous lava beads!

What do you think about Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year?
Coral is one of my favorite colors and I use it in many beading projects and love the results.
Thanks Pantone.
Coral is my favorite color got married in it. It does remind me of summer and the reefs. Such a beautiful color also goes well with blue, aqua, teal besides the colors you mentioned.
Love the color combo you’ve selected! Thank you.
