Making Sense of Tangerine

If you search for the word tangerine, the first meaning that you would encounter is that of a mandarin orange. As you continue reading the definitions, you will soon encounter that it is also a color with a reddish-orange tinge.

The wrong color selection could make or break your eventual interior design. Picking the colors to use is simple but only if you know what you want and if you know how to mix, match, blend, and whatnot. Okay, so it is no simple matter after all.

So why should you choose tangerine and why should you choose it above all other hues on the color spectrum?

Just Like Red

Orange, just like red, is an energetic and active color. If you’re looking for the same level of passion as what red evokes, then this isn’t the hue to go to, though.

Orange, or in this case a deeper shade which is tangerine, is known to promote happiness, creativity and enthusiasm more than romance or passion. It is also less formal than red when used in a corporate setting.

Tangerine does not show frequently on Mother Nature’s display. This is why we tend to notice it right away when it finally presents itself.

Tangerine just like its base color orange, stimulates appetite and metabolism.

Tangerine Tango of 2012

Tangerine was no less than the color of the year in 2011. Pantone saw the beauty of this hue and used it to describe, first, a lively dance called the tango. Second, the company recognized the spirited vibe that this hue offered which is why it became the go-to color during that year.

Seductive or Energetic

Whichever way you choose to go, tangerine can provide the vibe that you need. If you want to have a sophisticated room, then tangerine can up the seduction and drama inside that room. If, on the other hand, you choose to have a lively setup, then tangerine can also offer you that look. Just picture the Tommy Hilfiger and Elie Tahari pieces in Spring 2012 and you’d know just how lively and creative that season was.

So go ahead and energize the interior spaces in your home using this color. It is exotic, versatile and exciting but never in a threatening kind of way. Tangerine can also easily complement other colors such as green or blue. When paired with brown, it is sure to bring an amber glow.

The Tangerine Interior Design

Tangerine or orange, in general, has managed to have a reputation that’s both retro and chic. It has become a fashion element in a lot of homes in the past years.

Don’t think of this color as something that you need to avoid. In fact, with the right color to fuse it with, it can literally transform the look of your home. Pair tangerine with white by having the latter as the dominant color and the more energetic color as your accent hue.

Break up your tangerine carpets using white detailing. Tangerine walls can also be made more interesting with white cornices.

And why not go all out and have an accent wall in tangerine? That wall that encases your exciting fireplace can be made even more exciting with this bold color. And if you’re feeling up for it why don’t you have tangerine and a lighter tone as a twin tone? The easiest way to do this is to pair it with red or yellow. For instance, you can have a light tangerine wall against an interesting yellow ceiling.

Wanna have the coolest kitchen? Then have tangerine tiles as the backsplash or burnt orange as the cabinet color.
