“Uni-Coral is a strong hybrid of orange and red, and is the perfect color for a “pop-up” anything, fires the energy of the moment, and thrills with the exuberance of vitality.”

In an age of technology, these warm, electric, powerful, colors are the worlds’ virtual playground. The vivid reds explodes with anticipation of leisure time and engagement, as we involve ourselves in our busy lives, but take a step back and allow our devices and artificial intelligence to take on some of the tasks such as house cleaning, food delivery, and home entertainment. Uni-Coral adds a sense of fun, and touch of global awareness to everyday products and appliances.

Add a “pop” of color

A trend direction for color that lends itself to “pop-up” culture from events to retail to fashion, Uni-Coral has a way of taking a moment and energizing excitement among people. Pop-up shops can be physical or virtual in nature, and if done safely, can create a unifying energy. Uni-Coral radiates motivation and drive, perfect for insta(nt) attention. Its playful character brings a much-needed sense of delight, joy, warmth, and extreme happiness. It not only inspires fun, but also the need for action.

From rich red to tangy orange tones, Uni-Coral can breathe life into all aspects of interiors. From accent chairs and window treatments, to pillows and wallcoverings, this punch of color will send vibrant shockwaves and electricity through your interior projects.
