2012 Color of the Year

It's one of my favorites . . . 

Tangerine Tango

I've been using shades of orange as an accent color in spaces I've designed for quite some time.  So, when I heard the news, I was thrilled.  I think this color has so many possibilities . . . 


It can be used in traditional and modern spaces and it goes so well with lots of other colors.


Look how yummy it is with blue.

You could be brave, like Kate Spade and paint the walls!


Or your front door.

Or you could simply bring it in as an accent color in a neutral space.  Look how amazing it looks with the dark chocolate walls.

Here with more gray tones.






No doubt about it, I will be incorporating this color into my family room after Christmas.  Love having something to look forward to after the holidays!  M.
