Tango Tangerine has been named one of the hottest colors trending alongside the likes of Cabernet, Bellflower or Margarita. In all, the color trends to be following this season are said to incorporate “vivid brights, soft muted tones and fun loving pastels.” All of which will be making their entrance in fabrics and finishes across the furnishings stage.

“Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter day,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “They have learned how color can help them alter a mood and provide the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

Within the furnishings world, whether indoors or out, nothing adds energy or joie de vivre like a jolt of color to a home’s décor. And the experts are seeing that jolt this season coming from bright tangerine and the entire family of orange hues.

The color, whether found in soft textiles to smooth ceramics, alters overall mood in dining areas to outdoor rooms.

Taking that to the next step… capture this trend’s true vibrancy in a combination of bold colors… royal blue with tangerine; cool grey with punched-up peach; kissable rose with comforting corals.
