I must say it is not one of my favorite colors,
but here goes Marsala.
It is Pantone's color of the year.
Pantone Color Of The Year - Marsala
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.
The Versatility of Marsala
Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a
stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that
encourages color creativity and experimentation
Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great
go-tocolor for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication,
texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights
Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely
different message of glamour and luxury.
Here it looks pretty good!
The leather sofa matches the wall exactly.

Love that kitchen.
Pantone's color of the year...
Tell me dear readers, what do you think?

Hi Peggy,
ReplyDeleteI love these images. Marsala in its deepest saturated hues and in the right fabrics. The washed out shade of Marsala just looks dated to me.

Hi Karena, while Marsala isn't my favorite color. Had to do a post on it. thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. love peggy
DeleteOh darling Peggy...this is totally YUM!!! As I would say in my Parisian accent, "J'adore." I've always been attracted to just a bit of berry/russet/rust etc in a bedroom. Just seems to make it cozy and rich I think. I think some lampshades in this colour could be perfect for my new townhouse. I'm onto it now....love searching for fabric.
ReplyDeleteWhen we get settled, I'll send you some photos...just for fun. You might like to see them.
Blog looking beautiful by the way!
Ciao

such a sweet comment. Love peggy
DeleteHello dearest Peggy! What a pretty color that frankly, I never thought of. I veer toward icier colors like white, grey and aqua. I never really cared for pink so I think the red/pink family is not one I'd go to...but the combinations you share are STUNNING! OH YES! And to see this color with the blue gives it a whole new dimension!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming to visit. I am still present in Blogland, visiting and leaving comments when I can, and my blog will not be deleted. I may come back after I figure out how I will be able to manage my private writing life with work and maybe blogging, which I LOVE.
Enjoy your week! Anita
Dearest Anita: glad to hear you will still be around but you will be missed. love you, peggy
