Have you heard? Just yesterday, Pantone introduced the Color of the Year for 2015… And it is Marsala!
Pantone Color of the Year 2015
Marsala can be described as a deep red wine or a red-brown color. It is earthy, sophisticated, and almost sensual. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute says, “Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. 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.”
Marsala will work wonderfully with the Rustic and Vintage weddings that are so popular right now, plus it’s sophistication could play well with elegant and formal affairs as well. Try pairing Marsala with lighter shades of blue and lavender for a vintage event or pair with a palette of neutrals for a rustic wedding. Going for a more formal affair? Try pairing with other rich hues, like plum and burgundy. Take a look at some of the ways you could incorporate this color into your wedding…
