This week, the Pantone Color Institute revealed their official color of 2012-it's an energetic red-orange hue called Tangerine Tango, specifically known as 17-1463. The Pantone color guide is the universal authority on color. Throughout the year, the Pantone Color Institute scours the globe to determine what will be next year's hottest color. From interior design to traveling art shows, Pantone studies many industries to determine which hue is trending.
Last year's pick, Honeysuckle, suffered a lukewarm reception. The melon-pink hue is not easy to wear, and is tame compared to the electric warmth of Tangerine Tango.
Personally I love 2012's color prediction, orange has been growing on me and tangerine is the best way to dive into the hue. Basic orange can be a bit garish, but there are many chic options when it comes to implementing Tangerine Tango into your wardrobe. Yahoo Shine put together a great budget-friendly shopping guide that showcases great tangerine finds, including a fitted blazer and a bold party dress.
Tangerine Tango is already being embraced by the fashion industry, largely because the vibrant color is energizing and fresh. As we dive into the depths of winter, this color definitely has me longing for warmer weather.
