Tangerine Tango is the Color to Watch!

We found this information on The Boston Globe's website and wanted our readers to be in the know!

The Pantone Color Institute has determined that you will have a spicy orange crush in 2012. The institute, which studies color trends in fashion and determines a dominate shade for the forthcoming year, announced today that a color called Tangerine Tango will brighten the mood for next year. "Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," Pantone executive director Leatrice Eiseman said in a statement announcing the decision.
Tangerine Tango is as sunny as the 2011 color of the year, Honeysuckle. Last year's color was chosen to lift spirits, and it seems that 2012's punchy citrus shade was picked for much the same reason.
"Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy," Eiseman said.

Beverly's is on trend this year with our Beverly's stores carrying some great items in our Fiesta themed gifts and decor items, the Orange Crush line from Timeless Treasures, and a great selection of Tangerine Tango inspired fabrics online. Add a little sunshine to your next project with Tangerine Tango!
