For 2012, Pantone’s pick moves the dail a few clicks hotter, from a warm pink honeysuckle to pure tangerine dream,
with the selection of “Tangerine Tango” , a citrus-red hue that is certainly red hot,
popping up all over the Spring 2012 runway collections during the September Fashion Week shows.
“Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” says 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.”
Celebreties are getting their energy boost from the hot color.
According to Pantone, the choice of Honeysuckle as 2011′s color of the year
”encouraged us to face everyday troubles with vigor,”
while Tangerine Tango “continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward” !
Here at Elizabeth Wray Design, we love the color choice. All shades of orange can be found in magnificent blooms, all seasons.
Tangerine is one of our favorite wedding colors. 
If the hue seems to be too much for your bridesmaids to wear, consider using it as an accent color…
…your flowers, linens, printed items, accessories, chargers, or decor!
Oh yes, this vibrant red-orange hue is going to be throughout fashion, home decor and, of course, 2012 weddings.
Luckily, EWD’s past brides have already been inspired by the color!
The options are endless and we’re excited to see how you newly engaged brides plan to use this fiery color too!
