What color is Coral Pink?
Coral pink is a warm, soft red with a clear orange tint, hex #F88379, closer in tone to a pink peony than to a standard pastel pink. The color has enough orange in it to look peachy in bright light but stays firmly on the pink side in shade.
What is the meaning of the color Coral Pink?
Named after the natural sea coral harvested across the Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific, coral as a color was recorded in English as early as 1513, when polished red coral was among the most traded luxury materials in Europe. The orange-pink variety, now called coral pink, gained broader cultural recognition in the 20th century as synthetic dyes made soft, warm pinks accessible in fashion and home textiles. Pantone formalized the family with Pantone 16-1546, Living Coral, named its Color of the Year in 2019, citing its use across fashion, product design, and digital media as a driver of the choice.
