Ever heard of the color Marsala? I had not. These days new names keep emerging for color blend
s. (very hard to keep up) This one is named after a wine.
Turns out Marsala is a blend of brown and red. So pretty! Here is a swatch to show you. Officially it is PMS 18-1438. (just in case you were wondering!)
Here is the detail the Pantone site offers:
- 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.
Lucky for me, I work with many gemstones that embody this rich color.
