Orange is the new black – at least in fashion circles. Color consultants Pantone Incorporated say “Tangerine Tango” is the color of the year for 2012. They’re predicting we’ll see the reddish-orange hue on everything from fashion runways to living room drapes. Designer Tommy Hilfiger agrees. He says people had been leaning toward the conservative and will now want to freshen their look. With the latest recognition, tangerine tango becomes a slightly more elite spoke in the world’s color wheel, joining 2011’s honeysuckle, as well as such hallowed hues as turquoise (2010), mimosa (2009), blue iris (2008), chili pepper (2007), sand dollar (2006), blue turquoise (2005), tigerlily (2004), aqua sky (2003), true red (2002) fuchsia rose (2001) and cerulean (2000).
