Pantone's Top Color For 2012: Tangerine Tango!

We all love us some good color... especially the new top color for 2012: Tangerine Tango,  a hue that "emanates heat and energy".  I have been seeing the reddish-orange shade used as a popular accent color and favored by designers. Pair it with super-saturated colors like hot pink and bold colbalt or layer with  neutrals for an understated but impactful pop. Keep your eyes peeled for Sephora's exclusive Pantone color collaboration coming out in March... think lips and nail color! Why not even try it as a new surprise color in your home? I'm thinking an accent wall or throw pillows...? Oo la la for this new shade!
