Pantone Kleur Van 2012

Pantone, onderdeel van X-Rite, is natuurlijk het bedrijf dat veel cursisten kennen 'van de drukkleuren'. En vrijwel elke cursist heeft weleens van de 'Pantone Kleurwaaiers' gehoord. Het bedrijf ontwikkeld kleurformules die in de drukkerswereld gretig aftrek vinden. Ook in de mode- en designindustrie wordt veel gebruik gemaakt van Pantone.

Elk jaar maakt Pantone via eenpersbericht bekend welke kleur gekozen is als kleur van het jaar. Voor 2012 is dat Tangerine Tango 17-1463. Oftewel een diep oranje kleur.

In 2011 was dit een rose kleur: Honeysuckle. Meer over de kleuren van de afgelopen jaren.

Natuurlijk leert u van alles over Pantone tijdens de Illustrator Gevorderden cursus. Maar ook tijdens andere cursussen zal de naam Pantone regelmatig vallen. Meer over Pantone op deze pagina.

Dit is wat Pantone er zelf over zegt:

Dance into the New Year with this Vivacious and Appealing Reddish Orange

The 2011 color of the year, PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle, encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. Tangerine Tango, a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward.

"Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. "Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy."

Over the past several years, orange has grown in popularity and acceptance among designers and consumers alike. A provocative attention-getter, Tangerine Tango is especially appealing in men's and women's fashion. Fashion designers featured in the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Spring 2012, including Tommy Hilfiger, Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Steffe by Shaun Kearney, Elie Tahari and Adrienne Vittadini, are incorporating this attractive orange into their spring collections. A fun, lively take on a traditional autumnal hue, Tangerine Tango will surely carry through to fall fashion as well.

A winner in cosmetics because of its versatility, Tangerine Tango is a bit exotic, but in a very friendly, non-threatening way. Add a sultry flair to lips, cheeks and nails with Tangerine Tango. An unexpected eye shadow color, Tangerine Tango is a complementary opposite that flatters blue or green eyes. When paired with brown eyes, it brings out an amber cast.

Energize interior spaces with Tangerine Tango patterned home accessories. Pillows, bedspreads and tabletop accessories in this high-impact hue add spice to any room. Or incorporate Tangerine Tango appliances and personal electronics for an unexpected pop of color. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Tangerine Tango for a dynamic burst of energy in the kitchen, entryway or hallway."
