One of the things I look forward to the most at the end of each year design-wise, is Pantone's pick for Color of the Year. For 2012 they haven chosen Tangerine Tango, an intense orange hue with reddish undertones. It's a lively, bright color that injects energy and drama to any space where it is used. In Pantone's own words, "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 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.” Well said.
This sort of bright orange hue has become pretty popular in the last couple of years, specially with the neon trend. I've seen it used in all sorts of interiors and whether it's used to create great impact or in more subtle ways, it always looks and feels fresh, modern, and sophisticated. I am loving that ceiling by the way! What a genius use of this color!
When we buy our own house, I am definitely painting my front door a bright, dashing color. This looks fabulous! So what do you think of Pantone's pick? Do you currently use this color in your spaces or are you planning to incorporate it in some way this year?
