When Pantone introduced its color of 2012, Tangerine Tango, it was immediately popular throughout the market and fulfilled the consumer’s need for an upbeat, mood brightening lift. Warm oranges combined brilliantly with deep pinks as well as lush teals to create tribal ikats which were seen throughout last year’s markets and surprisingly continue their popularity into 2013. These designs have proved their ability to reach over into even contemporary designs.
