All these styleboards are based around this colour palette: Coral at the centre, paired with similar warmer tones of yellow and rusty brown. A lovely warm neutral and some complementary inky greens. Set off with matte black and gold accents. As they all use the same palette you can mix and match any of the items above to create a cohesive look – all inspired by Pantone colour of the year 2019 Living Coral.
