2012 Pantone Color Report

World-renowned authority on color, Pantone,  selected Tangerine Tango Color of the Year 2012.  This hot, happy and youthful color is perfect for your post-winter, post-recession “blues”!  Just add a dash of this zesty tangerine to your mid-century modern décor, saying bye-bye to the period’s traditional sour oranges.  Be daring with your traditional home – the pop of tangerine is, oh, so much more alive than the heavy wines, roses and brick shades that you are used to.

And it won’t be hard to find all of those tangerine accessories to work this magic.  The big retailers will soon be offering you lots of choices.  They’ll be shown with earth tones, blues and even barely-there shades.

Be bold and free-spirited – spice up now with a new, happy color!
