Marsala, Pantone’s 2015

From hair color services to nails and makeup and even for your in-salon decor, this year’s Pantone Color of the Year, Marsala, provides versatility and lots of opportunity! Marsala is that rare blend—neutral yet saturated, dramatic yet earthy, sophisticated yet accessible and classy.

“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,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “This hearty, yet stylish, tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.”

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.
