Pantone’s Color of the Year 2012 Tangerine Tango

The bold reddish-orange hue was announced color of the year by Pantone Color Institute. According to Pantone's statement, Tangerine Tango offers "the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward."   Whether it's used in small or large quantities, orange is a strong color.  Here are few projects that embraced the bold hue and executed their designs beautifully.  We'll start with a pop of orange and finish off with striking all-orange spaces.

Spring has sprung!

Sorry for not posting last week, but spring has officially sprung and I wanted to get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful weather.  It looks as though I am not the only one with spring fever,  I received a lovely email this week from Colour Lover's Color + Design Blog.  I loved the spring inspiration & colors so much, I thought I would share them with you.

Spring Color Love: Post Your Palettes

Colors, Color Palettes, & Patterns, Oh My!

I've always loved reading the names manufacturers come up with for their various patterns and color ways.  One of my recent faves was a carpet collection named after different personality types, two color names that stood out in the collection were called Milquetoast and Alpha Male.  

My love for color naming explains why I adore the website ColourLovers so much.  Members of the ColourLovers community can create, NAME! and share their colors, palettes and patterns. I never know what to expect from the emailed blog posts I receive from Colour Lovers. Typical posts feature themed color palettes  or color palettes inspired by art or photography (see "Thanksgiving Leftover" email, Left). But ColourLovers is not just  for looking at pretty colors, blog posts include information about  color trends, history, science and psychology.

ColourLovers is a must read resource for anyone who works with color on a daily basis.   Add it to your Toolbox! Subscribe for the emails here.
