Pantone has released its always interesting color of year. This year it’s a feisty shade of orange (or red?), and they’ve dubbed it “Tangerine Tango.” The Pantone code is 17-1463, but since I live in the web world, I’ve recreated it with this hex code: #e1523d.

So get trendy, people. Ditch your boring old Bauhaus red, and convert to Tangerine Tango.

Anyone – from anywhere in the world – can be a part of the project.

Paper art is probably the most complex looking art ever. I’d try my hand at it… but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t bring it upon myself to start cutting up a book. Here are some amazing examples of paper art.

I don’t know what’s sadder; The statistics, or the fact that the statistics aren’t really surprising.
