Pantone has recently announced their colour of the year and (drum roll, please) it is...Tangerine Tango! Pantone is continuing with their choice of high chroma, strong colours that have been evident in their colour of the year selections from the past few years. Tangerine Tango sits to the red side of orange and is a great alternative to red as an accent or base colour.
Orange is considered to be the colour of conversation and socialisation. It's a lively, stimulating colour and is therefore easier to use in living spaces (lounge, dining, play) then quiet spaces (office, bedroom) but, in any room, it can be used as a fabulous accent. Consider using it on walls to create an intriguing, inviting dining space or as an accent against deep blues or in conjunction with jade greens. Have a look at these fabulous inspiration shots...(if any one is able to identify the sources, please do let me know. I downloaded these prior to blogging so don't have the source listed.)
