color of the year

i just heard that the new pantone color of the year for 2012 is tangerine tango.  a beautiful shade that i would describe as a mix between orange & coral...

if you're not familiar with pantone, they have been known as the "worldwide standard for color communication and inspiration since 1963."  the pantone color matching system is basically a standardized color reproduction system that allows different manufacturers in different locations to refer to the pantone system to make sure colors match without having to contact one another. so "tiffany blue" will always be that same gorgeous shade of robins egg blue that we all know & love...who doesn't wish for that iconic little blue box?  what do you think of tangerine tango?  i love the bold color & can't wait to incorporate in our new house!  i can already picture it as a corded or pom trim to some decorative pillows or perhaps in other accessories such as a serving tray or an accent color in a piece of abstract art.  i'm definitely on board with tangerine tango...just crossing my fingers that my husband, m, agrees too!
