Examples of Pantone 17-1463 in My Photos

Here are some of my photos with Pantone 17-1463.  I have tried to come as close as I can to matching this Tangerine Tango.  I think it is more Orange/Red than Red/Orange.

1. In nature you see it in the Berries at the top with Green Shaded background.
2. The Deadly Amanita Mushroom Cap with White cottage cheese.
3. Unbelievable Jelly Fish with Saturated Pure Hue Blue background.
4. Native Alaskan weaving with white, black and gold (Shade of Yellow).
5. The fish is pretty close to the Tangerine Tango on a White and Grey background.

What colors do you like to pair with Tangerine Tango?

Happy 2012 Everyone!

There is something about the First of the Year! New beginnings, great intentions, and excitement about the prospects of sharing ideas. Here, I hope you will find a smattering of my musings, and references to other sites you will love. My main topic will be the importance of Color, and how Color influences your projects and the viewers of your projects.

Let me introduce the Pantone Color of the year 2012, PANTONE® 17-1463.

I am a sucker for that bright Orange/Pink the PANTONE® 17-1463 Tangerine Tango. Let's see how this year's Pantone Pick influences our projects, and how it may influence what the rest of the world thinks of color.

I hope you feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts on my postings
