Pantone's

Color of the Year 2015

Bid farewell to Radiant Orchid and embrace Marsala, Pantone's color of the year for 2015. Much like the wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a great meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness.

Moving into the fall and winter months of 2015, Marsala seems more welcoming as we nestle into autumn and the holiday months. Unlike the previous colors of the year for the past five years, with the economy now on steady footing, Marsala's rich wine hues lend themselves perfectly to classic traditional interiors.

Marsala's muted depth, like many wines, pairs well with a host of colors. This varietal shade combines dramatically with neutrals, including warmer taupes and grays. Pantone explains, "because of its burnished undertones, sultry Marsala is highly compatible with amber, umber and golden yellows."

Resource Partners has provided a bevy of beautiful Marsala pairing options in both area rugs and broadloom. With so many choices from traditional and transitional to contemporary, Marsala's color affords an array of products that span all design preferences and tastes.
