Coral color palettes #E0785A

Living coral: warm orange-pink that refuses to settle as peach or as red.

Where Coral comes from

The color of reef polyps under daylight — neither lipstick pink nor terracotta. It became a Pantone flashpoint because it sits in a gap most brand systems leave empty, and it shifts hard under warm lamps.

Also searched as coral, living coral, orange pink, warm coral, reef pink.
