I don't generally dislike coral, but that one got an "eww" from me when I opened the thread.

Yes! I love coral as an accent colour. (This one doesn't look that lively on my screen though.)

Well then my DH the diehard Denver Broncos fan is the height of color forward (so wish there was a sarcasm font) Here is BM Fiesta Orange! IRL it's not quite as cornea searing as it looks with the flash on. And yes I was completely cross eyed by the time I finished this. I consider it a testament to my persuasion skills that it is just the built in desk area, cause he wanted 2 walls orange and 2 walls blue. Now he has me painting the walls BM Hale Blue. Hey it's his Man Cave, and it gets me free reign over everything else house related.

I think the purple and gold is a specialty of LSU Tiger Fans. The shades on that lamp are a nicer variant. The silk used there on a dress or tie would be nice. I can see it fashion, for certain, which is what these Pantone COY are used for as well. 2017 was greenery and I don't recall a huge wave of greenery being used (other than the natural type). For home, I think it tends to push to boudoir and even into bordello/nightclub if not used with restraint. Or a child's room. Accent (a more muted, with greys and whites) And then there is this more full commitment to purple (not a commercial space, I think)

Here's the Colorography for Cavern Clay. The hue, value, chroma, LRV notation helps to get everyone on the same page about what a color is and looks like - independent from what everyone sees on their own individual devices or how they perceive a chip in their hand. The notation is determined using a balanced quality of light that's even across the spectrum, no big spikes in any one wavelength area.

Absolutely not in any way! The house and it's natural light and the preferences of the owner are all that matter.

I love a "good" coral but that one is NOT a good one at all. "ewww" from me, too.

I don't know why the Pantene color of the year is even a thing anymore, because it's been totally irrelevant for years, and never reflects current or even the next year or two's trends.

I don't know about in decor, but radiant orchid (2014) and marsala (2015) showed up in fashion in those years. I didn't see any uptick in their 2016-2018 colors in any setting, though. Coral was really big in fashion a couple years ago, IIRC.

I don't think I'd mind it as an accent, but not as a main color.
