Mabley Handler Tangos with Tangerine

Since 2000, Pantone has selected a Color of the Year, which is in turn used by the interior design and fashion industries as inspiration for their furniture and fashion lines for the upcoming year. For 2012, Pantone named Tangerine Tango as this year's selection. Citing its ability to "provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward," Pantone has forecast a bold color statement for the year. To celebrate this, we've put together a sampling of some of our favorite home accessories and design elements that are available in Tangerine Tango-esque hues.

1. Pantone Color of the Year 17-1463 Tangerine Tango

2. Dunes and Duchess - Candelabra in Signal Orange

3. China Seas - Hawthorne linen fabric in Tomato on Tan

4. Karen Robertson - 24" Round Sea Fan in Sunset Orange
