Tangerine Tango

“The 2011 color of the year, PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle, encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.”

“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®. “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.”

Over the past several years, orange has grown in popularity and acceptance among designers and consumers alike. A provocative attention-getter, Tangerine Tango is especially appealing in men’s and women’s fashion.

A fun, lively take on a traditional autumnal hue, Tangerine Tango will surely carry through to fall fashion as well.

Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way. Below you can see how beautiful this color is on merchandise pieces.

Go ahead…dance into the New Year with this Vivacious and Appealing Reddish Orange!
