Marsala is a reddish-brown color that’s rich and earthy — and a complete departure from the brightness of past years’ picks. It’s not quite the burgundy of the 90s, or 1970s brown, but an updated neutral that will translate well to interiors and decor. Below are previous years color picks.
Here’s what Pantone has to say about the Marsala:
Sensual and bold, delicious Marsala is a daringly inviting tone that nurtures; exuding confidence and stability while feeding the body, mind and soul. Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this robust shade incorporates the warmth and richness of a tastefully fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots point to a sophisticated, natural earthiness.
Marsala in Fashion
For the less daring, this color can be used in make up and accessories to add a pop of bold color. For the more adventurous, a head to toe outfit makes a big statement.
Marsala in Flowers
This color on it’s own may not excite you, but used with other colors in floral arrangements really works well.
Marsala in Interiors
Used as a wall color, in artwork or as accents, this color instantly brings a room to life.
Marsala in Food
Dark, luscious and completely enticing, you are drawn towards foods of this color knowing you are in for a treat of something rich and delicious.
