PANTONE 17-1463 Tangerine Tango: The 2012 Color of the Year

by Pantone

Sophisticated, dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenalin rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.

    [...] Apparently Tangerine Tango (the name the people at Pantone have given a warm bright orange/red) is the colour of 2012 – it suits warm bright people, but all you cool or soft, smoky people should avoid it or otherwise you’ll look like you’ve been drinking too much. Read what they have to say  [...]

    So HAPPY to see my favorite of all colors chosen! Tangerine Tango was the inspiration for launching my Eco Throws– as I wanted a soft cotton blanket in a Moroccan Fretwork pattern in a vibrant orange. I couldn’t find it, so I designed one– and now sell them in my shop– http://www.ahappyhabitat.blogspot.com or http://www.happyhabitat.wazala.com. See the Fretwork pattern Eco Throw in Paprika for what sparked the start of Happy Habitat. (BONUS– they are made from recycled cotton!)
