Color Wheel: Tangerine, Anyone?

In case you haven't heard..(ok just kidding) of course you all have heard that "Tangerine Tango" is Pantone's Color of the Year - 2012.


Last week, I thought it would be nice to gain some perspective about how the color was used throughout the 20th century before diving head first into using it within design schemes.
But as today is Color Wheel, and as an interior designer my job is to steer my clients in the right direction and help them (and you) make an informed decision.


I must admit - I do love orange..and oranges..BUT

I think as a color within an interior design scheme it just has to make sense or is too strong of a statement to be done half heartedly.

You wouldn't walk around in a mini skirt without feeling comfortable with your legs, now would you?


So please put the paintbrushes down, and before you decide to start painting all of your walls in Orange...

Here is a little inspiration on how it can be done, thoughtfully and easily..

 

Organe can bring some much needed warmth and happiness to a room and design scheme,

So here is to a sunny inspiration ~
