Tangerine Tango – The 2012 Color Of The Year
Time To TangoAs an interior designer, I understand fully the importance of color, not just the ones I favor, but the ones my clients are drawn to. Due to an individual need for complete sereneness, muted and understated tones are the color of choice.Alice Red & Orange Wallpaper by Marcel Wanders. Graham & BrownBut when clients needs that extra umph, they veer toward colors that excite and invigorate their personalities at home. Imagine how pleased I was to read back in December, that Pantone announced Tangerine Tango as their Color of The Year. A good choice by far. Color is important to us all, and as a culture, we embrace color as it means different things to each one of us. What does Tangerine Tango means to you? For me, it represents power, plus it stimulates the senses. It’s also a sincere, and thoughtful color. And now more than ever, I believe that this world needs to embrace those virtues. Here’s what the folks at Pantone had to say about their selection: “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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.”Spring 2012La vie du Grand NordAffordable & StylishFurniture & Rug from Layla GrayceBugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport, with tangerine leatherNOTE: Please notify us directly, if you believe that certain images on this post are alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others, according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
