marsala 1814-38 is the pantone color of the year."marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth. says leatrice eiseman, executive director pantone color institute. "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. this hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates
easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and
interiors."as of now kids, i dont know how i feel about this hue yet. i would personally not wear it in any shape or size. but its warmth and earthiness could create an enveloping feeling in the space it is used in. it would have to be brought into an interior with careful consideration. very very carefully. it borders between a rustic brown and the deep deep berry and i see it working well with gorgeous teals and deep blues. i did see some hilarious descriptions of what marsala 1814-38 makes people think of and most of them were not complimentary. but, lets keep an open mind because color is one of the most subjective associations and there is no accounting for taste.
the color does remind me of the beauty and deep hue of the black dahlia and i see the flower in high demand in 2015. here are some images i have gathered from around the web where marsala seems to be working its warm magic.
