Pantone has announced what the color of the year is: Tangerine Tango…..a wonderful, bright, warm color that reminds us of good things. Clothing, phones, paint, furnishings, and most importantly (!) GEMS come in this amazing color: rich, deep tones that can brighten your senses and make your fashions pop with excitement.
Wikipedia says: Every year since 2000 the people at Pantone declare a particular color “Color of the Year”. Twice a year the company hosts, in a European capital, a secret meeting of representatives from various nations’ color standards groups. After two days of presentations and debate, they choose a color for the following year; for example, the color for summer 2013 was chosen in London in the spring of 2012.[12] Each color purportedly connects with the zeitgeist; meaning “the spirit of the times” or “the spirit of the age.”
This year the press release stated “The choice is Tangerine Tango which is ‘a vivacious, enticing hue’ that will ‘provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward’”.
