Pantone: Marsala Is The Color of 2015
Says Pantone, Marsala is the color of 2015. It looks like the reddish color of wine.
“Hardy, robust, satisfying, fulfilling. At the same time there’s a certain glamour that’s attached to this color,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
In 2014, it was Radiant Orchid, a deep tropical purple. In 2013, Emerald green. Tangerine Tango was the color in 2012.
The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement color when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colors.
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.
