April Birthstone: The Diamond

Pantone has announced its 2012 color of the year, Tangerine Tango, an energizing reddish orange with a (soft) punch of coral. This new hue has us dreaming of sunset colored gems–think fire opal, carnelian, orange sapphire, and spessartite garnet nestled in warm gold. Tangerine Tango’s palette ventures into the pink, that peachy-pink that works well on everyone. So add pink opal, malaya garnet, and padparadscha sapphire into the mix. And remember, it’s not just the solid hue, but what you pair with it. The Tango looks great with bright pinks, purples, and varying shades of blue.
