Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year: Marsala



When you think of the word “marsala,” what comes to mind? Chances are, you are thinking about a shade of red that is about the color of a nice red wine. And you are not too far off the mark! Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year is marsala, and it is a lovely deep red shade that brings to mind warm earth-y tones. It’s a great color because it can be matched up with just about any color out there. And here are a few more reasons we love it so much.



Like we just mentioned, you can pair marsala with a variety of other colors out there. Pair it with yellow and turquoise for a sunny southwestern feel. Or pair it with hues like amber and light yellow to bring the warmth and beauty of a summer day indoors. No matter what color combo you choose, marsala is a versatile color that does well in homes of all sizes and styles.

Warm and inviting, marsala looks great as an accent color or as a carpeting color. It’s colorful and bright, but it’s not too overwhelming and will not detract from other colors or decorations. Marsala is a popular choice for floral patterns and other patterns, so marsala colored carpets can really enhance these types of patterns.

While marsala is a popular choice for interior design, its uses do not stop there! It’s a popular color in fashion and in other industries, like make-up and hand bags. It also looks good up against many different types of skin tones.
