Marsala (Colour of The Year 2015)
In case you missed it; Pantone (aka THE Colour Authority) has officially announced 'MARSALA' as the colour of the year for 2015. Prior to this announcement, I only knew of "Masala", an Indian food spice that I LOVE! Channa Masala with garlic naan and tamarind sauce! ....getting hungry just thinking about it- so delicious! ....but, I digress.
Marsala, the colour, is described as a naturally robust and earthy wine red. Based on the description, it is a tone we are quite familiar with however we would probably have just identified it as burgundy or a paler oxblood. What really sets Marsala apart from these colours though is the deep brown undertone that gives it its rich, lusty appeal.
until next time,

Thanks Rachelle! Love your blog!!
DeleteI love the color! It reminds me of the burgundy craze from two winters ago. You look so chic in this look, specially with the snake necklace :)

p.s I think you're mixing up marsala with masala. Channa masala is a popular Indian chickpea dish, and also one of my favorites ;)
Hahaha Youre so right I totally mixed it up! Thanks for the compliments (:
DeleteYes to dark reds for winter! I am also happy that marsala is a pantone color this year, it looks great on everyone!
