I don’t you guys. It’s all happening so fast. I’m not ready! I JUST NOW rearranged my life to accommodate last year’s Radiant Orchid. I have Radiant Orchid sheets and linens and lipsticks and nail polishes…. I don’t know that I can let it go. It was so fun… so high-spirited. And to go from that to MARSALA is quite a shock to the old system. Marsala is just so MANLY. It’s so BASIC. Says Pantone:
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-to” color 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.
Yuck yuck yuck. Bring back HONEYSUCKLE, I say.
