A couple of weeks back, Pantone revealed Living Coral (a vibrant tangerine shade) as its 2019 Colour of the Year. Now, though, the company showcased its full predictions for 2019. The spectrum of 16 colours boasts a near-perfect red (or, as Pantone calls it, Fiesta), a deep navy (Eclipse) and a hot-pink (Pink Peacock)—all of which are set to dominate our homes and our wardrobes in the coming months. As always, our aim is to keep you one step ahead of the trends, which is why we've picked out the six colours we think fashion will adopt for spring so you can buy into them early.
