So, who loves 2012's Pantone Color of the Year? Well, let me just say bright & cheerful is in this year...Tangerine Tango sounds like a Carribean resort to me. Way back ten years ago, our living room was this bold, deep hue. I'd like to think we were ahead of the times but truly, I was so fearful for my tamed eyes who just like everybody else was trapped in beige walls from one space to another {sadly, most people are still trapped in this old neutral}.
Tangerine Tango, for us common people, it's otherwise known as Red-Orange is a perfect complement to 2010's Color of the Year, Turquoise or Blue-Green. Yes, we know our Color Wheel! They work so well together {they're not called complementary colors by mistake!}. Here are some rooms to show you why & how:
Adore the color combo right? So are you ready to Tango this 2012?

You know, growing up in Austin has left me with a crippling fear of orange. I always equate orange with Halloween or UT, and burnt orange is not a good color. I think Tangerine Tango has restored my faith in orange. I will definitely be trying this color out.
hi there, thank you for leaving a comment on the Northern Light Blog, so I could follow you back here, love meeting new bloggers!!!!
I am all for the tangerine color... however, I am not brave enough to have it in my home :)
Perfect indeed...love this combination!! The first image is one of my favorites ~
Orange is most definitely a bold move, we'll probably attempt it in small doses first...and paired with a great turquoise, naturally ;) Thanks so much for your feedback!
