According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, Tangerine Tango “marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow,” so it is sophisticated, dramatic, and seductive.

At home, this warm and vibrant color adds spice to any room.  As for us?  It reminds us of winter citrus here in Southern California!

Here are some Tangerine hued items to inspire you.  Can you imagine how much they would brighten your rooms?
