Color of the year 2012

The official "color of the year" by the Pantone (the world renowned authority on color) is:

TANGERINE TANGO

Dance into the New Year with this Vivacious and Appealing Reddish Orange

 Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Institute says:

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 vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Add a bold accent wall or interior door...even your front door!


Adding a few new pillows or accessories is a great way to incorporate a new color into your home. 




I look forward to pairing this hue with some unexpected colors like Amethyst or Emerald.  Or bringing it in as a pop of color to a neutral space.
