With summer just aroundthe corner, our ColorIssue shows you how to

crank up your color palette fromspringtime pastels to full-tilt colorfor summer. Each year, Patone, theworld’s leading authority on color,announces their prediction for the“it” color of the year. Last December,Pantone named Tangerine Tango its2012 Color of the Year. Described byPantone as “sophisticated, dramaticand seductive, Tangerine Tango mar-ries the vivaciousness and adrenalinrush of red with the friendliness andwarmth of yellow, to form a high-vis-ibility, magnetic hue that emanatesheat and energy.”

Since the announcement this cap-tivating reddish orange color hasdrenched not only the fashion pages,but also saturated a slew of homegoods as well. Pick up a recent maga-zine or catalog and you’ll find every-thing from spatulas to cocktail traysto light fixtures and bed linens inthis spirited color.

Beyond citrus fruits and Latindancing, life and nature bring end-less color inspiration into our homes.Children’s artwork, floral arrange-ments, produces at the farmers mar-ket, birds, butterflies and moreinspire decorating ideas inside andout.
