Pantone Colour of the Year 2019 – Living Coral

Pantone-Colour-2019-Living-Coral

So what does everyone think of the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2019?

I love a Pantone reference!

I worked in the wonderful world of advertising and branding before I became a full time photographer. Pantone references were part of my every day world. I still have my Pantone swatch book – its a treasured possession.

A colour has the power to evoke feelings and to encourage behaviours.

This is also something I will be teaching on my Branding for Photographers Training Courses (in development and coming soon…).

Living Coral

‘Living Coral’; what a beautiful name and a deliciously rich colour. Perfect to take you from spring to summer. And then from autumn into winter with the associated colour palette of reds and oranges.

Rich vibrant hues. Evoking warmth, the blush of love, and smiles. This colour really does lift your mood.

Not sure how to incorporate this into your wedding day? Here are some gorgeous and colourful ideas for you to steal…!

Nikki’s Notes… Add a touch of Living Coral to your wedding cake with either a real flower in this colour or an edible flower. (Image above take at Clearwell Castle)

Gorgeous bride Claire gave her bridesmaids a soft hue of the living coral for their bridesmaids dresses. A flattering colour for most skin tones. (Image above taken at Glenfall House).

Springing into autumn; compliment the Living Coral with its slightly more wilder sister Orange! Ramp up the autumnal shades as show here at Andrea’s and Rob’s wedding at Priors Tithe Barn. This also looks great in the spring!Nikki-Kirk-Photography-Priors-Tithe-Barn-wedding-Pantone-Colour-2019-Living-Coral
