Pantone's Color of the Year 2015 - "Marsala"

golding76 — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 06:15:49 GMT

Pantone, the company that considers itself the authority on colors in consumer trends, announced in December that marsala was its pick for 2015's color of the year. Pantone called it "a naturally robust and earthy wine red," that's "subtly seductive." Here, a model walks the runway in marsala during the Mikael D show at Fashion Week in Toronto.

That is not attractive coloring on that dress at all.

Omigosh, now that I look at it more intently, I am horrified. I think I am seeing what you see. However, I do like the "marsala" part of the coloration of the dress.

[The dress comes off looking like dressing on a bad wound, doesn't it?]

Goldie, yep, used gauze or worse, lol. That is going to be a tricky color, and white ombre' into marsala isn't going to work.

I saw some other pictures of Marsala; look on Rachel Zoe's site. Yuk.

That dress would have looked awesome in last year's Radiant Orchid but it's awful as-is. It would be pretty in a solid, or a solid with a contrasting lining - just not those colors!

My first thought was blood red, and I guess I'm not that far off. I don't see this being a huge success.

I love the color and the dress; if only I was young enough to wear it.

I'm curious to see what all the t.v. shopping hosts will call ""marsala"". They called everything in the purple family ""radiant orchid"". These colors of the year seem open to very loose interpretations.

The dress is ugly and it's not the color marsala anyway

It is on my monitor, which is new and very color-accurate.

Marsala may be a winning color, but I can understand why the model is so unhappy in that dress.
