Tangerine Tango

Knock Knock!
Who's there?
Orange!
Orange who?!
Orange you glad Pantone's color of the year is Tangerine Tango?!




According to the official announcement from Pantone, this reddish-orange color is meant to give us a major energy boost. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Institute fills us in about the choice for 2012:

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it. Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vicariousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”






I'll take a side of Tangerine Tango with my latte, please.

The vibrant plumage of the peacock is a no fail color scheme with so much possibility! Peacock blue is like the regal, funky cousin of navy and works well with so many other colors. Some of the many colors that you can combine include apricot, orange, pink, red, yellow, lime, and teal. Use some of these photos as inspiration!
