In 2011 it was Honeysuckle, a pretty shade of pink. This week, the color experts at Pantone unveiled the 2012 "Color of the Year" — Tangerine Tango.

“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” the company explained.

“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.”

From apparel to cosmetics to interior design, we can expect to see the hue everywhere in the coming year.
