| Here's what they're saying about the colour - "In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into daily life, we are seeking authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy. ociable and spirited, the engaging nature of Pantone Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolising our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, Pantone Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression. Representing the fusion of modern life, Pantone Living Coral is a nurturing colour that appears in our natural surroundings and at the same time, displays a lively presence within social media.

So how to use Coral in your beading work? Coral looks great with natural textures and shades - shells, linen and muted colours, greys and pearls. Also perfect for Spring and Summer vibes, we think coral looks great paired with other tones of pink and blush, or clashed against turquoise, mint and blue colours - check out these palettes for colour ideas!
