Is it orange? Is it red? I don’t know, but I LOVE it! Yesterday it was announced that Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year would be Tangerine Tango. This is actually one of my favorite colors (aside from turquoise, the 2010 Color of the Year, we all know that’s number one!) I normally don’t use it in my home, but a lot of my favorite clothes, accessories, and often times my nails feature this punchy shade. And how can you not love it paired with turquoise?? It gives off such great energy! That’s actually why Pantone chose it…they said it provides the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward. Sounds about right to me! What do you guys think? Do you approve?
Have a happy weekend everyone!! 🙂
Love turquoise? Visit my shopping blog Everything Turquoise…updated several times throughout the day! Check out Decor by Color for even more color-themed shopping!
For once I'm ahead of the curve…lol! I painted one of my walls in my dining room/living room orange and it goes great with all of my aqua. I love orange!!
Orange and blue are my favorite colors. They just look so fabulously together. Great post!
That's so funny, I'm in the process of buying a house with that color painted in the kitchen and livingroom. I love the color, but prefer it in little bursts. Like a feature wall or pillows. I do love it with Turquoise too, such a pretty combo!
Nice color combination. Its design is very appealing, fresh, chic and fascinating! Great post, check out also 3D Rendering
Erin- what great pics showcasing this color!! I fist fell in love with this color when JCrew brought it out early this fall in their sweaters, cardigans and silk tops! unfortunately the color looks awful on me- but it wont stop me from dressing my house in it! 🙂
I am sooo impressed that you were able to pull together such a comprehensive post in such a short period of time. Bravo Blogger!
Such a chic compliment to Turquoise! I really like this color as a accent… it has such a great pop.
I've lived with this combo – my mother did her living room in it, back in 1972 (honest! turquoise shag rug, aqua sofa, tangerine occasional chairs)…. it was beautiful but VERY strong – what tied it all together and kept it from going ka-blooey was the Asian-inspired fabric, similar to the current Schumacher. I think I'm more partial to the tangerine when it's an accent color in a busier turquoise pattern.
Erin you are a master at what you do…thanks for giving us all such fabulous eye candy this year….look forward to another year of total pleasure with each of your posts….don't know what I'd do with my daily "fix" Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
That color is gorgeous…especially paired with turquoise!
Happy friday!
Orange is my favorite color to use as a pop is a plain room. It's a color that is fun and yet classic! Great post!
Approve 110%. Like you, it's a favorite of mine and I do use it in decor. Just looking at that little swatch makes me happy. And, in fact, I wore a theory dress last night in just that color to a holiday party. So fun!
Turquoise and orange – my favorite color combination. It is so vibrant and energetic. You did a beautiful job of pulling together all these photos for us Erin. Since I've had to give up coffee, I really do start my day with you.
Cheers!
everything but the orange wall, ceiling and beams. day in and day out, it would be too much orange for me. everything else is fine.
I've been into Tangerine/Orange a long time. I'm glad it's getting the attention it deserves. I love these photos that are inspiring me to use more turquoise.
TangoTurq – Perfect Marriage!
I love the orange with the turquoise. What great images!
Oh wow! I always love the tangerine and turquoise combo!! Awesome and so visually appealling!
Have a great weekend!

Hope you stop by and check out my Friday post!
I have a question. Is Pantone brand Paint similar to Chalk paint? I want to paint a corner hutch, but am dreading prepping it. I saw that Pantone states their paints are self priming and self sealing. ????
Excellent! And it goes so well with our beloved Turquoise!!!!
I live the bright colors that have been Color of the Year for the past three years. I'll be so sad when things take a shift to more muted tones.
I'm ahead of the game yay!!! I have these both in my living room. Actually this has ALWAYS been my favourite Colour combination….thanks Pantone!
Loved that fireplace and those bottles!!!
I love tangerine! 😀 And any furniture with this color will suit a beige or a white wall. 😀
This color would look fabulous in a children's playroom! love!
Loved the blue & white stripped walls with the elephant console table.. just FAB dahhling!
Love this roundup Erin! Thanks for sharing some beautiful and of the moment interiors. I have linked back to you on my blog at http://www.thesimplyfabulous.blogspot.com. Come on by!
ohmygosh!!! i LOVE tangerine with turquoise…people thought i was nuts when i started incorporating it in with the blues/whites/greens in my house, but it makes me feel happy. thanks for sharing…your blog rocks my turquoise loving world! 🙂 happy holidays!
It is the burnt orange of the University of Texas. It has always looked great with blue.

Great combo! I've been a big fan of orange for years..I did the last Princeton Jr. League Designer House room assignment (bedroom) in Sherwin williams Yam.
I love the combination and every example given. So nice.
I'll definitely consider Tangerine Tango. Nice.
Count me in!
I don't think I've ever left a comment before, but I am a loyal reader and absolutely love your blog. Turquoise has been my favorite color since high school and I'm just jealous I didn't think of doing a blog like this FIRST! 🙂 I love this house… the turquoise and red/orange are just gorgeous.
I love the orange with turquoise, I feel like turquoise looks great with almost any color but it's such an interesting color combination
Love that color combo ~ so fresh!!
I love the tangerine color and am excited to see how it will be used in the design world. Enjoyed your post-
Love the color combo…The Lonny photo of the lacquered orange walls is fantastic.
Omigosh, once again I'm ahead of the game. lol I painted that color in my sons room 4 years ago. He wanted orange, we came up with this red/orange combo on the walls, white trim and black and silver accessories. But now he's living on his own and I use the room for guests/grandkids. I've been asked if I was going to 'repaint' since he's moved out. But everytime I go in or pass his room I get a big smile…its such a happy color! The walls are freshly washed and the paint job still looks great. Since I'm a turquoise junkie, I'm thinking…would love to find those pillows are something like them to bring in some turquoise and yellow and replace the black accessories. This is so sharp!
Oh, while I agree it looks great as 'pops of color' let me assure you that having a good sized room (12×15) with this color on all 4 walls is not overwhelming and I tend to go for more muted palettes on the walls. I have to say my sons red/orange bedroom is one of my favorite rooms in the house; I even had my office in there for awhile. It may be hard to imagine, but it even looks elegant, not just playroom-like. Maybe sophisticated is a better word. It's fun and fancy!
What a beautiful post! I am totally crazy about the mix of turquoise and tangerine – perfect blend of modern beachiness! (is that a word)
