  1. #54626f

    black coral color 54626f

    Black Coral Color

    Crayola released this in 1997 as Black Coral Pearl, part of an ocean-themed set where every name ended in Pearl. Real black coral, order Antipatharia, grows a hard protein skeleton in deep tropical water and gets carved into jewelry. The paint version is a slate blue-grey with real backbone.

  2. #1d5a6e

    blue coral color 1d5a6e

    Blue Coral Color

    Blue coral is a real reef species whose skeleton holds iron salts that turn it genuinely blue, unusual among corals. Blue Coral color is a deep teal, darker and moodier than the tropical water it grows in.

  3. #ff6a52

    living coral color ff6a52

    Living Coral Color

    Pantone tapped Living Coral as its 2019 Color of the Year, choosing a warm coral with a golden undertone drawn from reef life just as bleaching stories dominated the news cycle. Living coral color (#ff6a52) hits energetic and social, sunset-over-Miami warm. Beauty and tech branding leaned into the pick immediately.

  4. #ffeee0

    soft coral color ffeee0

    Soft Coral Color

    Don’t expect coral. Soft Coral color #ffeee0 is a warm near-white with blue still at 224 out of 255, so it registers as linen or eggshell, and only a faint peach blush hints at the name.

  5. #ff7f50

    coral color ff7f50

    Coral Color

    Named after the sea creature, though the shade runs warmer than most actual coral. Coral color (#ff7f50) is a bright pink-orange somewhere between salmon and tangerine. Summer collections lean on it heavily, and it works surprisingly well with navy blue.

  6. #abe2cf

    coral green color abe2cf

    Coral Green Color

    Coral Green is a pale seafoam mint, with green at 226 and blue at 207, bright enough to glow on a sunny wall. The name points to the water above a reef, since real coral runs pink, orange, or brown. LED light makes it icy.

  7. #f88379

    coral pink color f88379

    Coral Pink Color

    Reef-building coral (specifically the pink Acropora species) gave the color its name. Coral pink color (#f88379) has a friendly, soft, sun-warmed quality. Beauty packaging and cheerful summer layouts still favor it after a century of use.

  8. #c37469

    red coral color c37469

    Red Coral Color

    Precious red coral, Corallium rubrum, has been carved into beads around the Mediterranean since ancient times, and polished pieces glow a deep salmon red. Red Coral color (#c37469) is a softer, dustier version, like coral bleached by years on a shelf. It’s warm and gentle against most skin tones.

  9. #e57568

    burnt coral color e57568

    Burnt Coral Color

    What coral becomes after a full season in the sun. Burnt Coral (#e57568) is a warm peach-red with orange undertones, beachy without being cartoonish. Teal and cream make the obvious palette; deep navy makes the unexpected one.
