Raspberry and Tangerine #ColorStory

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

I had been thinking about spring colors, and shades of raspberry pink and tangerine-y orange kept popping up. Even while I was taking in the view of the Colorado River on our last trip to Yuma, a pair of kayaks – one pink and one orange – just happened to float by.

It’s not a color combination I always think of putting together, but a deep orange can look fabulous next to full-on fuchsia.

Since then, I’ve spotted this variations of this delicious duo in art, design, destinations, and DIYs.

  1. Beautiful! The bougainvillea is probably my favorite, that and the woman with the headscarf. These were actually the wedding colors one of my friends chose! At first I wasn’t so sure, but it was so beautiful. I actually paint my toenails in the summer alternating a pink and tangerine color. Sold! Love that it is all over right now, and you found it in so many different places. The kayaks! Amazing.

  2. Great photos! I love the vibrant colour themes. Though I’ll admit, I looked at the cocktails and shivered! (Winter arrived here yesterday. lol)

    1. Thanks! I hope you’re snuggled up with a *warm* beverage now!

      Meanwhile in Phoenix, we had our first 100-degree (37C) day of the year this week. So, everyone could use a cocktail! ;)

    1. Oh good! Let me know where you end up spotting raspberry/tangeriney things! And maybe start planning your Nevada road trip!
