Hidden in between orange and red is coral, a warm color that ranges from soft and peachy to strong and vibrant. As you can see, i've slowly acquired a lot of this shade and find that it's perfect for those times when fire engine red just won't do. Lately it's been my go to hue when i'm looking for a pop of color, especially with spring so close. It also doesn't hurt that coral is flattering on just about any complexion.
