PANTONE 2015 is the name of the color that was chosen by Pantone, a company that provides color standards for the design industry, as the Color of the Year for 2015.
Marsala is a warm, rich, and versatile color that can be used in various fields, such as fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings, and interiors.
It can be paired with neutrals, such as taupes and grays, as well as with complementary colors, such as amber, umber, golden yellows, turquoise, teal, and vibrant blues.
Marsala can also create different effects depending on the material, texture, and finish, such as matte, glossy, or metallic.
Marsala was selected by Pantone as the Color of the Year 2015 because it reflects the cultural trends and mood of the time, as well as the consumers' desire for comfort, stability, and sophistication.
According to Pantone, Marsala is "a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth" and "a tasteful hue that embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal".
