Before the year ends, color experts and trend forecasters from Pantone have once again revealed the perfect hue for the next year. With the picturesque view of the Art Basel Miami Beach on Wednesday, another shade of pink was chosen-the Living Coral.
The color, which looks like a combination of pink and orange, represents the natural beauty of a healthy living coral that lies deep beneath the ocean floor. This explains why just by looking at this color, everyone will psychologically be happier and feel better.
Laurie Pressman, the Pantone Color Institute's Vice President shared, "With everything that's going on today, we're looking for those humanizing qualities because we're seeing online life dehumanizing a lot of things."
With the ability of the color to uplift and nourish the emotions of people, the Vice President further explained that next year's color of the year isn't just there to create a trend, but the color is something that the world needs at present.
Pressman added, "We're looking toward those colors that bring nourishment and the comfort and familiarity that makes us feel good."
To Pantone, the Living Coral is one of the colors that could bring "comfort and buoyancy in our continually shifting environment." Furthermore, it can also express our playful side, and that will never be boring.
Living Coral is expected to become a fad early next year, but it seems as though some are starting to wear the hue with them just after a day of the announcement.
To start her year off with good vibes, The American Model Gigi Hadid was seen walking around the paves of New York City wearing only the pink-orange hue from head to toe. The model was wearing a décolleté-revealing blouse under a sophisticated coat slinging over her shoulders, all with the striking hue, according to Vogue.
The color may be very attractive to look at, but since it could be very bold and striking at the same time, fashionistas must never forget to wear this right or else it would already look very unpleasing to the eye.
An online website, Independent, shared tips on how the next year's color can be included in your fashion. According to them, one of the best ways to model the hue is through a boot. A simple boot can make your outfit pop in a good way. It will never be an eyesore as it will only be an accent to your overall getup.
