Swoon Worthy Marsala Colours Palette

“Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. Marsala is a subtly seductive shade, one that draws us in to its embracing warmth.”   Leatrice Eiseman Executive Director, Pantone Color Institute

“Marsala has been named Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2015. For those who are not familiar with the colour it is deep and rich and was named after the fortified wine by the same name. Pretty soon you will be seeing Marsala everywhere, from weddings to home furnishings to fashion runways.
Marsala manages to master being both bold and dramatic, while still managing to somehow stay grounded. It gives a warmth and almost comforting feel, even seductive. And from the sounds of it so far, it has been a hit with both genders across the board.
Whether in a flat or textured material, or with a matte or gloss finish, this highly varietal shade combines dramatically with neutrals, including warmer taupe’s and grays. Because of its burnished undertones, sultry Marsala is highly compatible with amber, umber and golden yellows, greens in both turquoise and teal, and blues in the more vibrant range.” – Source

When paired with the right colours Marsala can make a summer wedding bold, bright or earthy; a winter wedding cozy and intimate or sleek and classy; a spring wedding fun and playful; or a fall wedding warm, luxurious and rich. For something bright and fun you could go with colours such as teal, light greens or bright pinks. Use Marsala with oranges, greys, blues and silvers to give your fall or winter wedding that statement look you were hoping for. For a touch of class and style add gold to your Marsala colour scheme.
