Near the end of each year, after months of careful research and design-industry surveying, the PANTONE Color Institute announces a colour for the year ahead. For 2012, it was the brazen Tangerine Tango, a bold and cheeky hue that quickly made its mark in fashion, accessories, and household items. The previous year, it was Honeysuckle Pink, and the uber-popular Turquoise the year before that. When PANTONE calls out a colour as one to watch, it’s a safe bet that its viability with consumers is no longer a guessing game.
The trend to decorate “green” is bigger than ever.
The long chairs are set out in the garden, the signs of budding vegetables are showing every day, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming and the season for Outdoor Living is in full swing.
