PMS means color, too.

It's the end of the year, which means that Pantone has outed their new color of the new year; for 2012 that means Tangerine Tango... described by the color gurus there as: "a vivacious, enticing hue," "a provocative go-getter" that's "a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way" and "a spirited reddish orange ... [s]ophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive."

I love keeping up with color trends, even if I don't always like them...it's just fun to have something nominated as the in thing for the whole world, the whole year. Kind of like a Chinese Year of the Boar, but with a color instead of an animal.



Past years' colors were:
honeysuckle (2011)
turquoise (2010)
mimosa (2009)
blue iris (2008)
chili pepper (2007)
sand dollar (2006)
blue turquoise (2005)
tigerlily (2004)
aqua sky (2003)
true red (2002)
fuchsia rose (2001)
cerulean (2000)

I went on a quest to find tangerine tango in a lipstick. It may be that I have here.
