Tangerine Tango

Hello Everyone! I am so excited for this summer! Getting to learn all about the wedding and event planning industry is definitely a dream come true. Each week I will be submitting a new blog post as I learn new things and I hope that you will all follow along!

For my first post of the summer I decided to write about the Pantone color of the year
TANGERINE TANGO!

For those of you who don’t know, each year a color is chosen as “the color of the year”. In 2010 the color was Turquoise, in 2011 the color was Honeysuckle and now its Tangerine Tango. To go along with the colors various emotions and situations are tied to the particular hue that the people at Pantone Color Institute feel as if summarize the year. Tangerine Tango is considered to be a color that “continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward” because it is so bright and exciting! Considered to be both sophisticated as well as dramatic and seductive Tangerine Tango has become an orange hue with a considerable amount of depth. It is reminiscent of not only a beautiful sunset, but also of warmth and excitement. It is truly a color that can be incorporated in to all.

To be perfectly honest, at first I did not like the color. I have never been a huge fan of orange, however there is just something about Tangerine Tango that has converted me to a huge supporter. It is so versatile. No matter where you wanted to incorporate the color, whether it is in your flowers, fashion or décor, it would definitely end up looking beautiful. With its brightness and versatility, it not only looks great when paired with other bright and vivid colors but darker and more subtle hues end up looking great as well! What are your thoughts on the Pantone 2012 color of the year?
