Introducing Marsala – Color of 2015

marsalavia: Pantone.com

Pantone Color Institute has released the color of the year! Every December, for the past 15 years, a color gets this award. It is quite exciting for color lovers like me to learn about this hue. Well, color of 2015 is – “Marsala”, a red-brown roots, like the Sicilian wine.  You will see this trending in fashion, beauty, graphic design and interior design in 2015. Actually, you will see this color pop up everywhere. I totally agree with the experts – Marsala is stunning, sophisticated, uplifting and also welcoming. I can already see plenty of use for this earthy wine shade. I prefer it as an accent color, how about you? Do you like this color? Will you add this to your existing decor? I’ve randomly picked a few items for you in this shade (via Google image searches).

  2. OH, I love the home décor accents you picked out! As a wedding and event planner and interior designer at heart I always love to see the trends in color! Fall ’14 High Point Market had trends in red and blues, which will continue in ’15 and you hit it on the mark! Thanks for linking up on Oh My Heartsie Girl and hope you’ll come by next week!

  3. I never knew there was a color of the year but I do love this color! I have been using it as an accent color in my kitchen for the past several months and keep falling more in love with it! Thank you for stopping by and linking-up with us at the Oh My Heartsie Girls Wordless Wednesday!

    Wishing you a beautiful week!
    Much Love,

  4. Such a pretty color! Our kitchen used to be this color but was recently changed. It’s a fun color! Love the pieces you put together! Thanks for sharing at WW!

  5. I really Love this! The color of 2015 looks really fabulous. The sofa would perfectly suit my home. Thanks for sharing this.

  6. Hi Vidya! Happy New Year! I just moved into a new house and I was searching the web for fresh new paint colors. I had seen Pantone’s color of the year ‘Marsala’. I didn’t like it. To me it looks like dried old blood. Sorry for being so graphic (I’m in the medical field and a horror writer). I wish there was another color of the year. 🙁 Oh well, there are other trending colors. 🙂

    1. Hi Vashti! Color is subjective – I’m not surprised to see your comment. I like this color only in small doses – just as an accent that pops up in a room. I find it way better than red or brown 🙂 Have fun decorating your new home.

  7. This is such a great color, we use a very similar color on our website… I’m glad that its the color of the year!

  8. I love that color!! That rug and couch would go perfect in my front room.

  9. I shockingly love this color! It’s different and really pretty! I usually don’t like the colours of the year but this one I think will be a big hit!

  10. I LOVE that color! I find red to be too much but this seems like a great alternative.

  11. I’m not 100% positive that I love this color. LOL It’s a little dark for me. I’m one that loves bright and bold colors!

    Thanks for joining the Link Up this week!
