PANTONE Pretty for 2012: Tangerine Tango

Tangerine Tango PANTONE Colour for 2012.

“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.” ...

Fashion:

Designers, including Elie Tahari, Charlotte Ronson, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander McQueen, Nanette Lepore,  and Adrienne Vittadini, are incorporating this attractive orange into their Spring 2012 Collections. It is a fun, lively take on a traditional Autumnal hue and will certainly 'Tango' it's way through to Autumn Fashion as well.

Cosmetics:

Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic (in a very friendly way) and is exceptionally versatile. Use Tangerine Tango to add a sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails. It will flatters blue or green eyes as it is a complementary opposite and when paired with brown eyes, it brings out an amber radiance.
