NEWS: Pantone Color Institute chooses 2015 Color of the Year

The results are in! Pantone has just chosen Marsala -- a red-brown hue named for the Sicilian wine -- as the Color of 2015. Marsala is an earthy red, which the company describes as "an impactful, full-bodied and elegant grounded statement." The subdued, sophisticated tone follows last year’s pick, the much more boisterous and 
relentlessly cheerful Radiant Orchid.

Going gaga for Marsala

Pantone's Executive Director says that "this hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.
Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth."
