It is always interesting to see the Pantone’s pick for “Color of the Year”. Drumroll please – the color of the year for 2012 is….
According to the official announcement, the deep red-orange color is intended to give us all a big energy boost; a refresh and a recharge. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Institute tells us more about the choice for 2012:
“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 vicariousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

What do you think of the choice? Are you ready to try the “tangerine tango”? In some ways, I’m reminded of the colors on the 70′s. . . you may remember harvest gold, avocado green and orange.
While I will never wear an entire outfit of tangerine, nor will I make an entire orange quilt, I may use a pop of it here and there.
