Pantone Colour for 2015

So long Radiant Orchid, Pantone has announced Marsala the colour of 2015.  Pantone says the “full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement colour when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colours”, and with a variety of ways to style this colour, we couldn’t agree more.

Although there’s been some hot debate about Pantone’s colour choice, there’s no doubt that Marsala is already making a hit in fashion. Set to be a key colour-trend there are simple ways to incorporate Marsala into your colour scheme.

For a hint of rich colour without full commitment, Marsala looks stunning paired with traditional white on a cake; or as the ink or envelope lining of wedding stationary.  Matched with copper tableware and white cloths, Marsala also adds depth to a tablescape.

Marsala contributes a wonderful pop of velvety rich colour when blended with paler shades, lighter pinks and rich green, enhancing a bouquet or flowered archway.  For a smaller nod to 2015’s biggest trend, use it in your hair by way of a pin or garland, or the groom’s buttonhole.  Alternatively wear it on your lips and nails to stand out against your dress.

There’s no doubt that 2015 will see Marsala inspiring the creative sphere, but we’d love to know if it will be inspiring you! Send us a Tweet and let us know.
