2015 Color of the Year

Marsala 18-1438.  
I heard about Pantone's selection for 
color of the year while on travel.
The next day as I played with watercolors, 
I was amazed at how "neutral" Marsala could be.


This is Pantone's description of their 2015 winner:

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.

And they are right!
As I flipped through design magazines and browsed 
fashion catalogs, I was amazed at how often 
colors similar to Marsala were part of the mix.
When you Google Marsala, or search on Pinterest,
everything shows up from deep hued burgundy and 
rich red-brown to plummy purple.
So whatever twist of Marsala is calling you, 
chase the winter blues away with this
dramatic, earthy, warmth inducing shade,
the 2015 neutral - Marsala!

Maggie and Reese Marsala Owl

When added to Marsala backdrops, 
various shades of moss green, soft peach
amber and gold tones bring a rich, warm feel
to gathering spaces.

Amber glass Ewers, Painted Garden Notepad, Embroidered Tote and Golden Fig Vases
available at Maggie & Reese.

Maggie & Reese 
combines colors
from Pantone's Color Pairing options.


I loved it so much, I bought one for my home office
to add color next to my linen drapes!



Next color pairing option ~
Natural greens and pewter accents bring
springtime to a kitchen with Marsala tiles.
Add a mustard market bag for an additional
splash of country French color!

"This Little Light of Mine", Astrid Napkins, Three Section Server, Cherry Blossom Tote
and Pewter Plate available on Maggie & Reese

With half the country under snow cover,
it is never too soon to think about 
summer outdoor living spaces.
Why not shades of greens and blues added
to Marsala inspired patio for a 
fresh take on your outdoor space.

Lafco Candles, Keystone Mirror, Applique Flower Pillow
and Garden Tea Lights available at Maggie & Reese

So if you are looking for a versatile, rich,
warm new neutral, why not see how
Marsala adds to your existing palette,
for now, I think I will be sipping mine!

Cheers!
Maggie
