The 2015 Pantone color of the year is Marsala, and we’re wondering why. Let’s talk.
The color of the year: It’s a hot topic in the design community every year when the Pantone color of the year is released. And then there’s either the crinkled-face-slouch-in-the-chair reaction or the oh-of-course-smile when we find out.
This year, we’re not quite sure. So we’re talking through the Pantone color of the year choice Marsala with some of our favorite color and design experts this week on MyFixitUpLife talk LIVE!
We’ll be talking about how the Pantone color of the year selected, why was Marsala selected for 2015, and if Marsala is going to affect what we’re doing in home decor and interior design.

Mark and Theresa, you two are so silly! lol, Anyway, about Marsala. I agree with Amy in the fact that it is a great grounding color for 2015. As many of us are looking towards more of a Holistic approach to color, Marsala is a good base to start with. You can add your favorite hues with it whether is a dusty miller green, a flashy pink or a spicy orange – they all will work! My advice? Keep the color clean, saturated and don’t fall back on the “ugly” that can be associated with this color. Make it new and call it your own. Good job ladies!
