Pamela's Posh Picks: Color of the Year, Tangerine

Pantone Color Institute, known for its trendsetting color predictions,  recently announced its 2012 Color of the Year: TANGERINE TANGO

What a glorious color it is! According to Pantone, “Tangerine Tango is a spirited reddish orange, it provides the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward…”

During a recent visit to the Sherwin Williams studio at the Boston Design Center I selected some outstanding tangerine-hued paint colors from this warm palette.  I just know one of these would look great in your next project. Take a peek and let me know your favorites~

Daring

Daring, Sherwin Williams 6879

Oh how I love the boldness of this color! Not shy or retiring, Daring makes  a perfect accent paint.  I can envision it for a piece of furniture, the edges of a frame or a fab pop of color inside a bookcase.

Mandarin

Mandarin, Sherwin Williams 6891

 Mandarin  has undertones of yellow which makes it a bit more of a safe choice.  It’s a great choice for a wall or a floor in a solarium or even a ceiling. Such a fun color, use your imagination!

Navel

Navel, Sherwin Williams 6887

 This is a true tangerine to my eye:  bright, vibrant and warm.  Navel would be perfect for a pair of Adirondack chairs on the lawn.

Daredevil

Daredevil, Sherwin Williams 6882

In real life this is a reddish-orange and oh so lovely.  Quite truthfully I would be tempted to use it just based on its name: Daredevil.  I dare you to use this in a dreary pantry or closet.  Just think how it would brighten your day and energize your spirit!

With all this thinking about the color of Tangerine I feel the need to go have a nice big bite of one …..
