2015 PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR: MARSALA

The color Gods have spoken, the 2015 Pantone Color of the Year is…… Marsala.  It seems they decided to go in a new direction. In the last few years we have had such vibrant and bold colors such as Radiant Orchid, Tangerine Tango, and Emerald. Marsala just screams warmth and I’m definitely OK with that and I think it’s a beautiful twist to a fall wedding. 

To some, when you think of Marsala, you think of food and/or wine but the Pantone Color Institute thinks differently.  “Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability.  Marsala is subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.” Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute.

As you see in the collages below, Marsala is a very versatile color and pairs well with spring and summer combinations such as spring greens, summer blues, yellow and blush. It’s also good to note that it translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings, and interiors.

Happy Planning,
