Must Have Color of 2012 Is...
Drum roll please.... Tangerine Tango!
 |
| Image Via Olive Coco Magazine |
"The 2011 color of the year, Honeysuckle, encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor," writes Leatrice Eiseman,
executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "Tangerine Tango, a
spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need
to recharge and move forward."
Pantone makes the announcement every year and (literally) sets the tone
for the year's design color schemes from wall paint to bridesmaid
dresses.
"Sophisticated
but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an
orange with a lot of depth to it," writes Eiseman. "Reminiscent of the
radiant shadings of a sunset, 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."
Let the tango begin.
Inspiration Board: Silver, Iron & White
Modern winter palette... matte silver with delicate iron details add texture and depth.

Fashion Friday... Spring/Summer Color Trends 2012
TRENDS IN COLORS & TEXTURES
A season of more eclectic, open styles.
Colors play on contrasts and paradoxes to surprise us and can be mixed without restraint:
- Subdued tones for reassuring elegance
- Natural, restful colors
- Exuberant, vivid flashes for fun and festivities
- Diaphanous colors for new romanticism with an eye on the future
A season with very subtle changes in textures and effects.
The beautiful classics play at innovation.
Surface effects and finishes are inspired by nature, but an idealized nature.
Technical materials go sophisticated and romantic.
Textures and materials fuse to create vibrating effect.
