PANTONE | A Special Events and Lifestyle Marketing Boutique

PANTONE, the “global authority on color,” recently announced Tangerine Tango [PANTONE 17-1463] as the 2012 color of the year.

“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” says Leatrice Eiseman, PANTONE’s executive director. She describes the color as “sophisticated…dramatic and seductive…reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset”.

I love PANTONE’s color choice. I see it as a vibrant, versatile color that compliments and is complimented by an array of colors. Don’t believe me? Check out some of these inspirational color boards!
