TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC WITH TANGERINE TANGO

PANTONE® COLOUR OF THE YEAR

Trip the light fantastic with Tangerine Tango, Pantone’s® colour of the year. As a Vancouver Home Stager, I know the importance of incorporating the latest and greatest colours and trends in order to keep my designs fresh and contemporary.

Tangerine Tango - Pantone® Colour of the Year

On a recent trip to the Las Vegas Furniture Market, I saw a lot of this year’s colour of the Year 2012, Tangerine Tango, a vibrant, rust-orange. This colour is fresh, juicy and punchy. It really give a room a kick. Used in small doses, this colour really makes a room sing and demand attention.

Tangerine Tango - Pantone® Colour of the Year

I love the combination of tangerine and turquoise as shown here. This is a very hip colour combination. I can imagine using cushions in these colours to spice things up a bit.

Who could possibly stay in a bad mood when sitting on this bright, sunny, happy chair! Orange you glad I showed you Tangerine Tango?!!!

Tangerine/orange has always been one of my favorite colors to spice up a room (usually through accessories) in a house I am staging. I love the aqua and tangerine combo as well!

I love orange color in accessories. Panthone's name for that color Tangerine Tango adds sort of passion in to design.

Peggy Sue! Ha ha - I remember your reaction to orange. I think it looks really good in small doses, but agree with you, I wouldn't want to over do it!

Maureen - I'm so fed up with the rainy weather we've been having lately! Ahhhh, today the sunshine finally appeared. Yes, tangerine tango is a bright, vibrant colour that chases all those grey clouds away!
