Tangerine Tango

Is a sunny energy boost, a colour we can truly bask in and it’s Pantone’s  colour for 2012.

Tangerine Tango, conjures up a heady citrus smell that nature matches with its vibrance in colour.

This shade of reddish orange is sophisticated when teamed with Taupe, Nude and White, classic up against any hues of Grey through to Black, and great fun as it’s co-ordinated with the colours of the sunset, in Pinks, Reds, Blues and Purples.

Tips for experimenting with Tangerine Tango

Remember start small as you gain your confidence, use as splash of colour here and there. If feeling braver the statement can be bolder with an increase of the amount of Tangerine.

Check out what’s available in this years colour.
