Tangerine Tango Interiors

Tangerine Tango Pantone 2012 color of the year

Pantone’s Tangerine Tango

Tangerine Tango is IT.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “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.”

A few more of my favorite rooms and custom window treatments I’ve done featuring Tangerine.

The addition of a Tangerine border transforms this custom valance from a neutral brown and beige to WOW! The contrasting banding not only adds a great punch of color, it also highlights the shape of the triangles.
