Incorporating the sun-kissed shade of tangerine into your daily ensembles
PANTONE named tango tangerine (Pantone 17-1463) the colour of 2012 for a strong reason – the irreplaceable zest it brings to just about any fashion numbers!
“Because we’re living in tougher times, people need a little colour and excitement—it’s an energetic shade.” as stated by Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute
The colour, which resembles the sunset hues, could cause hesitation for some people. If you are aware that your skin will look darker and dull while donning tangerine, here’s some tips to relief the worries!
Tangerine for the yellow skinned
For ladies with oriental skin, opt for the softer shades of tangerine, like the pieces from Raouls SS12. If it still does not feel right, opt for colorblock dresses with tangerine elements in them.

Tangerine for the tanned
You are a bunch of lucky ladies! Tan equals tangerine, seriously. Do not hesitate to don the exact IT hue for the year – tango tangerine. Tango tangerine is the brightest combination produced from red and orange. For that healthy, exotic, sun-tanned look, you should look no further. Tangerine works best with some casual neutrals like denim.

If you think tangerine doesn’t really belong to skirts or blazers, wear what you are most comfortable with, and tote some tangerine instead. Sneaky? Maybe, but instantly trendy as well!
Zesty nails
For those who want to test tangerine out, nail polish is the answer to your prayer.
