Pantone Color of the Year for 2012: Tangerine Tango

The esteemed Pantone Color Institute®, recently announced it's 2012 Color of the Year, Tangerine Tango #17-1463 TCX.

"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. 

So YES, orange is in.  This beautiful color has grown in popularity and has been turning up everywhere. There has been acceptance among designers and consumers, therefore has been been used in interiors, fashion, and lifestyle.  You can scan just about any magazine. 

Also, for the first time, Sephora is partnering with Pantone to launch the first Color of the Year beauty collection. The limited edition collection features a variety of products including eye shadow, lipstick, lip gloss, nail polish and accessories, and will be available in Sephora Americas beginning March 2012.


What does this mean for us in the wedding/event designing world?!?

Well you can surely believe The Dessy Group, is certainly headed for some Tangerine Tango bridemaid dresses and accessories.  However, just because Pantone chooses its color of the year doesn't necessarily means it will be the "Wedding Color Of the Year".  Case in point this year, Pantone's color choice was Honeysuckle, but the most popular wedding color of 2011 were shades of Purple. According to wedding industry experts, the black and white color trend will continue, mixed with a pop of color. Tangerine Tango perhaps?

As you can see 2012 is going to be full of fun, vivacious colors. I LOVE IT!!! Here is a little bit of color inspiration for incorporating Tangerine Tango color into your wedding.

Enjoy the view!
