Pantone have announced 18-1438 Marsala as their 2015 colour of the year. It’s a warm and hearty tone, but it also has bags of style. Add elegance to any room by incorporating this rich and welcoming hue in accent pieces, accessories and paint. Marsala’s plush characteristics are enhanced when the colour is applied to textured surfaces, making it an ideal choice for rugs and upholstered living room furniture.
‘Nurturing and fulfilling, Marsala is a natural fit for the kitchen and dining room – making it ideal for tabletop, small appliances and linens throughout the home.’ Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute®
