image/jpeg iconThe feel of this rich shade, which Color Marketing Group chose as Color of the Year, can swing in many directions, depending on the décor with which it is paired. For a bolder statement, try pairing a complementary color against a purple wall, such as the yellow of Bradburn's St. Barth lamp. www.bradburngallery.com [1]
image/jpeg iconUp the glam factor of the rich reddish purple with the shimmer of the crystal-cubed framed Alpine fixture from Hudson Valley Lighting. www.hudsonvalleylighting.com [2]
image/jpeg iconDeep purple provides the perfect backdrop for the multi-colored fabric shade on 26th and Soho's Coco lamp, which is patterned in another of-the-moment trend: peacock feathers. www.26thandsoho.com [3]
image/jpeg iconThe shimmery pearl finish on Varaluz's open Masquerade fixture really pops against a purple background. www.varaluz.com [4]
image/jpeg iconThe softness of Wythe Blue, the serene shade Benjamin Moore chose as Color of the Year, is echoed in the soft lines of this Christopher Guy hand-carved limestone lamp (#90-0042) in the shape of a bird. www.christopherguy.com [5]
image/jpeg iconClean, elegant lines, white opal glass shades and a Grey Nickel finish on Authenticity Lighting's Bacio Collection are all complemented by Benjamin Moore's soft blue. www.authenticitylighting.com [6]

image/jpeg iconThe blue, green and white color scheme of the shells in Corbett Lighting's Dolcetti sconce pick up the blue and green tones in Wythe Blue perfectly. www.corbettlighting.com [8]
image/jpeg iconThe most vibrant of the bunch, Pantone’s 2012 Color of the Year Tangerine Tango is an exotic reddish orange that adds a dash of spice to any décor. The golden color scheme and modern silhouette of Crystorama's Eclipse Collection make it a great counterpoint for a tangerine-colored wall. www.crystorama.com [9]
image/jpeg iconThe bronze finish and fluid shape of Larry Laslo's Elongated O lamp for Frederick Cooper add some drama to a Tangerine Tango room. www.frederickcooper.com [10]
image/jpeg iconEarthy materials and a dark Serengeti finish on the Tasso pendant from Quoizel's Naturals Collection combine with Tangerine Tango to create a funky yet natural look. www.quoizel.com [11]
image/jpeg iconToo timid for a total Tangerine Tango environment? Accessories, including portable lamps like Arteriors Home's Cassidy lamp, allow you to incorporate a splash of this bold bright and partake of the trend. www.arteriorshome.com [12]
image/jpeg iconAdd a twist of tangerine to any room with the Brussels lamp from Bungalow 5. www.bungalow5.com [13]
image/jpeg iconThe Four-Arm Candelabra by Dunes and Duchess is sure to liven up any room. www.dunesandduchess.com [14]
