Living Coral ...

                  • VIVIFYING!

                                                    • EFFERVESCENT!!

                                                                                             • CONVIVIAL!!! 

... a cheerful salmon-peachy-creamsicle-y color.

It's an "animating and life-affirming coral hue" with a golden undertone 

"that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge", and sometimes lures goldfish.
