Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color, annually announces ‘THE’ color for the upcoming year. On December 8, 2011 they proclaimed the 2012 Winner….a vibrant, energizing hue called…Tangerine Tango!! Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, calls the orange-red color, “Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive.”
We think the hue is rich, bold and firey! A perfect color with any theme wedding. Tangerine Tango can be used to reflect the warm colors of a sunset, the tones of fall or the cheer of the spring.
It will take some time for this newest hue to hit the wedding scene so if you are interested in incorporating it into your palette now look for some strong combinations of orange tones as seen in our Tangerine Tango inspiration board.
A glimpse into our thoughts on some possible seasonal wedding color palettes are:
Spring: Go subtly and marry Tangerine Tango + light yellows and other pale accents such as peach, pink, and ivory.
Summer: Go bold and pair Tangerine Tango + bright purples, fuchsia, turquoise tones and white.
Fall & Winter: Go deep and orchestrate Tangerine Tango + browns, greens, deep crimson, and plum tones.
