2012's Color of the Year: Tangerine Tango

Something called the Pantone Color Institute (your guess is as good as mine) has come out with their Color of the Year.

The winner: Tangerine Tango.

Disregard for the moment that Pantone selects the color of the year for a year that hasn't happened yet. Small oversight.


“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®.

Thank God, too. I've been so let down lately by unsophisticated, shallow oranges that have no depth. What tramps!

Pantone's Leatrice Eiseman continues:
"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 emenates heat and energy."

Who doesn't love a wedding? Even a wedding of colors. If only fuchsia and turquoise would stop pussyfooting around and finally tie the knot we'd all be happy, amiright??

Pantone:
"A winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way."

Unlike all those threatening exotic things in life, like Hawaii. And Spam.
