Pantone Color of the Year for 2015

Much like a fortified wine, the PANTONE® color of the year for 2015 is 18-1483 Marsala.

This tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. It’s hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, home furnishings, and interiors.

Marsala is shown here at Hotel Santo Mauro in Madrid, Spain.
