PANTONE 2012 COLOR OF THE YEAR - TANGERINE TANGO!
What does this mean for us in the floral world?!?
For me, it gives me a 'reason' to keep using my orange, monarch butterflies, in my arrangements and my design shows. I just love them and now, I have one more reason to share them ;)
For you, it means that we will see an emergence of new accessories, containers and accents in this color. You will begin to see promotions of some of the beautiful blooms being available in this reddish, orange shade. First bloom that comes to mind for me are pincushion protea! Tangerine Tango is such a seductive color...let yourself have fun!

For our clients, customers and consumers, it means they will see it appear in fashion, interior decor and they will be looking to each of us (in this floral, creative driven field) to be able to provide them with suggestions of fresh flowers that will match what they are wearing or the new lampshade or bed coverings they just bought! Be knowledgeable, be prepared - KNOW what is on the tips of tongues in the design world - and of course, who doesn't love to just say, "Tangerine Tango?" Share your knowledge with your clients, they will be impressed, I guarantee it.

(Yes, it is a real Crayola color ;) Just for fun, at the grocery, be healthy - pick up a tangerine or two. This year, you will think twice when you see this color - everywhere!

Excellent Mandy!!
Mandy, a great informative article. This has always been a favorite color of mine (called something else), but it excites me that this is the "color of the year" for 2012.
