Pantone 2012 Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango

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*?

Klas Ernflo :: Color Pad

Who knew blobs of paint could make me so happy?  I'm fairly certain I would be utterly content to just stare at Klas Ernflo's Color Pad project all day... and maybe, just maybe, play around with creating some blobs of my own.
