In case you haven’t already heard…..Pantone has announced the 2012 “color of the year”. Every year Pantone makes its choice for the up and coming color trend for the new year – be it clothing, home décor, gadget covers, pet supplies, or even, yarn!! This year’s 2012 color of the year is…..”Tangerine Tango”!

This shade of orange has a spicy side with a hint of red for excitement, empowerment and energy in the new year! Below I’ve listed a few of my favorite  finds in this inspiring “tangerine” colorway!
