Drink Up the Marsala

Pantone's 2015 color of the year is the deep, warm, hue of Marsala.

"Marsala is subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth."
Leatrice Wiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute.

According to Pantone, Marsala won the honor of 2015's signature color because it's...
  • Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
  • Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
  • Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
  • An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.
It's also a striking upgrade to traditional red for the holidays. Full-bodied, warm and sultry.
