by Home Rehab Online on Oct 16, 2012

The color-powerhouse Pantone Color Institute recently named one such color -- “Tangerine Tango” -- the top color of 2012. “Sophisticated, but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “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.” Continue reading →
