Pantone's Color of the Year


So, if you're like us, you wait in anticipation of what new color Pantone is going to drop for the new year (well, maybe it's just us). For the year 2015, Pantone decided to go with a darker hue that is a contrast from the Radiant Orchid they chose for 2014. The new color Marsala has been described as "A naturally robust red wine..." on the Pantone website. According to Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, she describes is this way - “Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth."

I can definitely see where she is coming from. Marsala is a rich color that can provide a warm accent to even the most pastel palette. Although I could see this shade being used more in the fall and winter months, I think the color is fitting for whatever season. This color can add texture to any type of decor you want to incorporate and it's a color that men could really get behind when picking their tuxedo accessories.

I did a little Google search just to see how this red wine (my favorite) color can be used. The inspiration boards are and photos are amazing. When you're color at the color palette for your wedding or special event, give Marsala a thought. It could be the missing element for you.
