Tangerine Tango - Pantone's Top Colour for 2012

Pantone has named the top colour for 2012: Tangerine Tango, a radiant red-orange to replace last year's pink hue, Honeysuckle. Does this reflect an optimistic outlook for the new year?

It looks like the fashion world helped dictate this one, including J.Crew's Jenna Lyons whose brand has a bright orange ensemble colour blocking with green and purple in its latest winter ad circulation (the pants the model is wearing that are visible in another ad are the same shade of orange...):
