it’s official…the color of 2015 is…marsala…
pantone’s description reads:
A naturally robust and earthy wine red, Marsala enriches our minds, bodies and souls exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.
Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.
The Versatility of Marsala
– Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
– Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
– Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
– An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.
