Um, yes tangerine does actually adhere to the tango style guidelines 
completely. Tangerine takes all the colors from the tango palette, has 
the correct inner and outer stroke etc. and all the other stuff outlined 
in the style guide (and therefore makes it blend in well with other 
icons using the guidelines, yay!). There is nowhere in the tango 
guidelines that say that all icons must be blue and that they can't be 
brown, tangerine-icon-theme just makes more use of the orange and 
chocolate shades, while tango-icon-theme has made more use of sky blue 
and chameleon colors. [1]
But yes, you are correct that tango-icon-theme is just a icon set using 
both the naming-spec and the style guide.
