Tangerine Tango, the Pantone Color of the Year 2012
Personally, I couldn't wait for this announcement. Color is my life. So obviously, I was dying to know what the Pantone color of 2012 would be. Personally, I think they made an EXCELLENT choice with Tangerine Tango. See, for the longest time I have been deeply attached to purple for many reasons. I am, after all, a proud LSU alumna. It was the primary color in wedding earlier this year.
The secondary color for my wedding was orange. I am sure that when you hear purple and orange, you may question my sanity. Let me assure you it was a beautiful combination. The further I got into wedding planning I became more and more a fan of orange. Since the wedding, I have decided that orange may be taking the lead for my new favorite color. If you see my new throw pillows for the living room sofa and other new home decor, there is a whole lot of orange happening in my house. Im still not wearing too much of it but throwing it in for pops of color any chance I get.
Oh, thats not true. My favorite lip color is a bit on the tangerine side and OPI's Cajun Shrimp and My Chihuahua Bites are my favorite polish colors, so there is my wearable orange.
Just now I googled (just to see when the news would come out) Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year. It was announced yesterday! Check out Pantone's full blog post for the announcement details. Here is what I found on Phoenix New Times website:
Let's hear it for 17-1463, Tangerine Tango.
"The 2011 color of the year, PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle, encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor," writes Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward."
Pantone makes the announcement every year and (literally) sets the tone for the year's design color schemes from wall paint to bridesmaid dresses.
And if last year's Honeysuckle was a color to ward off the blues and get the energy going, Tangerine Tango, is an extra shot.
"Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," writes Eiseman. "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."
