Tangerine Tango

I just heard on the radio
Some news you never hear -
It seems that industry has picked
The color of the year.


It will appear on clothing
And accessories and make-up;
Some experts thought its vibrancy
Would give us all a wake-up.


The color has a name, of course - 
It's tangerine and tango.
I picture something orange-red,
Much deeper than a mango.


I bought a sweater weeks ago
And it was just that shade.
Perhaps the store had jumped the gun
By having it displayed.

But now I'll be the height of vogue,
The coolest on the scene,
When I put on my sweater
Colored tango tangerine.


I never knew that years had hues
But if you must comply,
Perhaps to keep up with the times,
It might be time to dye!
