Marsala – 2015 Pantone Color Of The Year

Pantone Color Institute has selected Marsala, an earthy brick red-brown hue, as the 2015 color of the year.

Leatrice Eiseman, Exe. Director of Pantone Color Institute described MARSALA PANTONE 18-1438 the best:

“Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.”

I wholeheartedly agree with Ms. Eiseman and something must have been in the air since right before the Pantone’s announcement, I purchased a Marsala colored pair of shoes, handbag, a cashmere sweater and yes that rich Marsala colored lipstick.

Marsala is a sophisticated, earthy, elegant, rich color that appeals to both men and women and it flatters any skin tone.  Can it get better than that? Whether it is used on it’s own or paired with any other color, This hue is dynamic and eye catching.

In 2015, you can be sure that all aspects of fashion, furniture, home appliances and interior design will be influenced by 2015 Pantone color of year – Marsala. All sorts of warm neutrals and earthy colors like taupe and grays can be paired with Marsala. The red-brown undertones makes Marsala a beautiful and a compatible color with golds, greens, teal, turquoise, and amber.

I am really excited about this eye-stopping sexy color and Marsala has already hit my own wardrobe and make up bag. What do you think about Pantone 2015 color choice?
