Corals do not necessarily have to be red, even if red is thought of as their typical colour.

 Corals grow in Nature in a wide range of colours from red to white and from blue and brown to black.

The most popular are the red hues such as pale pink or salmon, all the way out to a deep dark red.

Black corals and gold corals are very much in fashion, whilst the blue ones are extremely rare.

The white of the angel skin coral, suffused with pink, is regarded as particularly precious
