Named after the fruit, the color tangerine is a tone of orange.
Use in graphic design
Hues of tangerine are sometimes important to graphic designers when constructing identities, brand recognition, and stand-out ads for clients.[2] Because of the brightness of the color variants, they are often employed to make a small but centrally important object stand out, especially when surrounded by the flat colors of earth tones.[3] Tangerine hues may also be selected as complements to other bright hues, and because of their relative rarity of use.
One of the original "fruit-flavored" iMacs released in 1999 was the Tangerine iMac[4][5] (Apple could not call it "Orange" due to the existence of the rival firm Orange Micro).
