Written by modernshed | Mar 12, 2019 7:00:00 AM

Pantone’s Color of the 2019 is Living Coral, a bright and cheery color that would liven up any room in your Modern-Shed or simple living space.

“Living Coral welcomes and encourages lighthearted activity. Symbolizing our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits, PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral embodies our desire for playful expression,” notes the Pantone website. “Representing the fusion of modern life, PANTONE Living Coral is a nurturing color that appears in our natural surroundings and at the same time, displays a lively presence within social media.”

We love seeing the color on fashion runways and, of course, in home design.

You can add pops of coral to your space in big and small ways — painting built-in furniture, as in the photo above, or incorporating the color into your Modern-Shed home office, as seen in the vase and flowers in the Portland she shed below.
