2015 COLOR OF THE YEAR: MARSALA

The new color of the year has been revealed…

Pantone’s 2015 color of the year: Marsala!

Say goodbye to radiant orchid, and helloooo marsala!

For over 50 years, the Pantone Color Institute forecasts a color of the year that is foretelling of all designer and consumer trends. Analysts derive to this conclusion by studying runway, art, fashion, economic and even political trends.

This year’s choice, marsala, has similar burgundy hues with a mix of reddish-brown. In a company press release, Pantone described the color as “a naturally robust and earthy wine red.” Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

However, this muted color seems to evoke a love or hate relationship.

While some found the color sophisticated and sensual, other have downright associated it with bodily functions and cheap wine. New York magazine’s The Cut went as far as calling the color “icky.”

Celebs seem to be fans, but what’s your take on it? Yay or nay?

Here are a few items that caught my eye…

2014 COLOR OF THE YEAR: RADIANT ORCHID

AND THE COLOR OF THE YEAR IS [drum-roll] RADIANT ORCHID!

It is day three of 2014 and we are already excited to be talking about the color of the year. I must say though, I certainly was loving the emerald green I spotted everywhere all throughout 2013 fashion, but I am a little more excited about this year’s color choice.

PANTONE® 18-3224 Radiant Orchid, “…Inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health. It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm.”

Moving away from emerald which served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, “Radiant Orchid reaches across the color wheel to intrigue the eye and spark the imagination,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.

After that description, who wouldn’t love to rock this beautiful shade? I am already looking through my closet for a pop of orchid and noticing it may be the perfect excuse to get a little shopping done! ;)

So, get ready to add a splash of orchid to your closet and look out for radiant orchid in beauty, fashion, AND interior design through out the year!
