Color of the Year- 2015

Sorry people for the late post... this post was due since long and before we move any further into 2015... this deserves to be posted... So here we go...

In the last week of December 2014, Pantone declared the 'Color of the Year' for 2015. Pantone is the world-renowned authority on color and provider of color systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of color across a variety of industries. The PANTONE® name is known worldwide as the standard language for color communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer.

Every year, Pantone announces the Color of the year, which then becomes the sought after color in that year and most of the color trends- fashion, beauty, make up, interiors revolve around that color both in Spring and Fall.

In 2014, the Color of the Year was Radiant Orchid and the Color of the Year before that were

And the Color of the Year 2015 is.... MARSALA, a naturally robust and earthy wine red. 

"While PANTONE 18-3224 Radiant Orchid, the captivating 2014 color of the year, encouraged creativity and innovation, Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the 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."

Marsala in Fashion & Beauty

"The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant statement color when the color is used on its own or as a compelling accent when paired with many other colors."

"An incredibly versatile color for beauty, Marsala is an appealing and sophisticated shade that’s flattering against many skin tones."

My Take on the Color of the Year 2015

A beautiful colour, intense and goes with different families of color from neutrals to metallics to blues and greens, oranges and yellow... WOW.

A wonderful color for fashion and makeup- who won't like the wine red lips or nails or a dress that goes well for both day and night wear, and can take you from work to play!

Those who do not like wearing true red for any reason will find a way to wear red with this color. Marsala is a pretty color for most of the Indian skin tones and the best part is that it can be worn easily by both men and women.

In love with this color already... looking forward to working with Marsala (the color... not the wine!! *wink* *wink*) this year!!

How do you feel about Marsala? Would you like to have it in your wardrobe or makeup?? Do leave a comment and share your thoughts!
