Pantone 2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 11:13AM 
Pantone just announced their 2012 color of the year and kids, it's a doozy! Tangerine Tango is "a spirited reddish orange"... kinda like the sofa in our guest room, perhaps?? Oh snap! It is! Nothing like a little color validation from Pantone. Anyway, here's what they have to say about this fiery new hue:
"Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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."
Oh, they also say that "Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way", in case you were worried. So. What do you guys think? Are you ready to dance the Tangerine Tango*?
*I couldn't help myself.

I love this color SOOO much. Way better than last year's Honeysuckle Magic or whatever it was called. If you need me I will be doing the Tangerine Tango.
YES! I love it too. Honeysuckle made me feel weird, but I can totally get on board the Tangerine Tango Train!
I'm definitely on board. Halfway between red and orange is my favorite color.
Yay! This tango train is ready for departure, it seems! :)
