Tangerine Tango is the color of 2012 “Year of the Dragon”

Last January, I have posted Fashion Trend and color of 2011 “Year of the Rabbit”. Every year I am excited to know the color of the year so now let me share the color of 2012 that I have learned from pantone.com.

Tangerine Tango is the color of 2012 “Year of the Dragon”. From pantone.com, Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute said that Tangerine Tango is sophisticated but at the same time seductive and dramatic, 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.

I have also posted the color fashion trend for spring 2012 and Tangerine Tango is one of it. It is a winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way. You can use Tangerine Tango to add  sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails. Tangerine Tango is unexpected eye shadow color but a complementary opposite that flatters blue or green eyes. It brings out an amber cast when paired with brown eyes.

At home, you may try to energize interior spaces with Tangerine Tango patterned home accessories. By using Tangerine Tango bedspreads, pillows and tabletop accessories, it may add spice to the room. You may also  incorporate Tangerine Tango appliances and personal electronics which is a uniquely pop of color combination. The color Tangerine Tango is recommended paints at the entryway or hallway,  and kitchen for a dynamic burst of energy.
