Welcome to Marsala, a rich red-brown. (I’m thinking chocolate....) Pantone, Inc., who professes themselves to be "the authority on color, provider of color systems and leading technology for accurate communication of color” has named Marsala the 2015 Color of the Year.
Now we can all run out and get Marsala lipstick, Marsala-colored fabric and shoes, Marsala wine (just for the heck of it), Marsala nail polish, Marsala this and Marsala that. Or not.
The entire Spring-Summer 2015 color palette is below and consists of (L-R, top to bottom): Aquamarine, Scuba Blue, Lucite Green (a retro color making a comeback), Classic Blue, Toasted Almond (warm neutral), Strawberry Ice, Tangerine, Custard, Marsala, and Glacier Gray (cool neutral).
If you are interested (color fascinates me), here is a link to the Pantone website.
(click here) . There you will find a video of Lee Eiseman talking about these colors, as well as information on how colors are selected (who influences the choices).
So, will you be incorporating any of these colors into your art or wardrobe?
Hugs,

It's always interesting to see how the Pantone color choice can be seen all over the place. What would manufacturers do if there wasn't a fad new color LOL. I have to see this color in person. I'm not sure its for me, but there are a few in the supporting colors that I love and DO live with already.
I do like that new colour, and the blues are always favourites. The rest don't do much for me though.
Alas, I just can't, brown... :'(
