In the dark of winter seems like the perfect time to write about something vivid… something that can transform a room and enliven your mood. Something that is sure to make you smile. Color!
Pantone, the color company responsible for the first standardized color book for designers, is also responsible for naming the “color of the year.” A rich and lively shade of orange called Tangerine Tango is the winner for 2012, and you can expect to see this vibrant shade creating a fresh burst energy and warmth in home décor, fashion and cosmetics.
One design blogger described the color like this: “what fuchsia is to pink…tangerine tango is to orange.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, explains, “…Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it…sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive…” She goes on to say, “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.”
Some clients are already asking, how such a vivid color could be used in home décor without overwhelming a space. By including this delicious hue in art or accessories (such as throw pillows) you can add spice and interest to any room. For a bolder burst of color, paint a single wall in the bathroom or hallway.
Tangerine Tango might be just the right shade to brighten your winter walls and lift your soggy spirits. Give me a call to schedule a consultation and hear about my new client discount!
Until then,
