“MARSALA” IS THE NEW BLACK
The long awaited color of 2015 was only recently revealed by Pantone, but it has already been seen in fashion collections, interior design, the automobile industry, and other diverse products and art pieces. It was inspired mainly by the Marsala wine, produced in the region surrounding Marsala, Sicily.The executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, introduced the new color “Marsala”, a wine-influenced and red-kissed color, affirming it is “hardy, robust, satisfying, fulfilling. At the same time there’s a certain glamour that’s attached to this color”. Behind it, lies the idea of not choosing a color that will necessarily “overtake the world”, but that’s a complex and grounding shade, in this case, a brown-red with blue undertones to appear as a dark blush. There’s a natural feeling to it, it’s earthy and full bodied, without being flashy or all over the place. It’s the perfect balance of “confidence and stability”, adds Eiseman. This color is chic, seductive and involves you in a warm and inviting energy, like wine or the blush of flushed cheeks.
It’s time to get your home on trend and keep up with everything you need for maximum sophistication and style. Not only the new official color, but the whole palette for 2015, works perfectly for any idea you may have. There’s a variety of tones in warm and cold colors, and neutrals. Depending on your style and your personality, you can apply the color on whole walls or even the exterior, for a bold and hype new look. But also, it’s easy to just paint one wall or furniture, as well as adding accessories like pillows, vases, candles, and others. Have fun playing with the new Pantone palette. Your house will be renovated and get classy instantly.

“Many feel compelled to be connected around the clock because we are afraid we’ll miss something important. There’s a growing movement to step out and create ‘quiet zones’ to disconnect from technology and unwind, giving ourselves time to stop and be still. Color choices follow the same minimalistic, ‘en plein air’ theme, taking a cue from nature rather than being reinvented or mechanically manipulated, Soft, cool hues blend with subtle warm tones to create a soothing escape from everyday hustle to bustle.” - Leatrice Eiseman
