Marsala: Color of the Year 2015

    Well the annual color of the year is out. PANTONE decrees that Marsala is the new color of the year. I have one word. Boring!

    Their explanation:

    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. 

    Well now that you explain it that way. Still boring.
