Pantone’s Colour of the Year in 2019, Living Coral, is generating a lot of buzz in the fashion and decor industry and it’s easy to see why. Coral is the best of both worlds, with the vibrant energy of orange paired with the softness of pink. As we are approaching the last quarter of the year, it’s never too late to think about how to incorporate the colour into your lifestyle!

7. Dr. PAWPAW Peach Pink-Tinted Balm
Dr. PAWPAW is the United Kingdom’s first pawpaw-based skincare brand. Despite its odd name, the papaya-looking fruit from North America is often used in holistic medicine. Rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamin C, and its anti-inflammatory benefits make it a perfect go-to ingredient for skin salves. This multi-use balm is made from fermented pawpaw to deeply nourish and heal dry, cracked skin. Formulated with a just a dash of Living Coral, it can also serve as a cheek or lip tint.

9. Backslash Fit
We still can’t quite believe that someone’s invented such a thing, but yes, there is indeed a mat so smart, it
talks. Backslash Fit has created the yoga mat of the future and—surprise, surprise—it’s coloured in Living Coral. This futuristic accessory comes with a thick, cloud-like cushioning and a non-slip bottom layer, making it the perfect exercise mat with no slippage and no curling edges. Best (and most unbelievable) of all, it pairs up with Women’s Health Yoga on Amazon Alexa and responds to commands, like, “Hey Alexa, let’s start our 30-minute practice.” It also has an in-built self-rolling mechanism, which we
cannot wait to see in action.

10. Coral+Gold Minimalist Bud Vases
These small bud vases come in a set of three and have been dipped in a Living Coral-coloured glaze, then finished with painted gold leaf. Each bud vase is handmade and slightly different from the next, with brushstrokes and pooling in different parts of the gold leaf to emphasise its rustic, unique nature. We’ll bet that anyone would make space in the house for these beauties.

slightly creepy, but also kind of makes you feel like you’re living in the next century. It’s smart enough to hear commands over the sounds and music that it’s generating, a simple flaw that Google has finally conquered.
