If you follow design news, you’ve probably heard about Pantone’s 2015 “Color of the Year” selection: Marsala. The company describes Marsala as, “A naturally robust and earthly red wine” that “make[s] for an elegant statement color…or as a compelling accent when paired with many other colors.”
If you like the color of the year, there’s good news: you can expect to see it pop up in fashion, beauty, fabrics, product packaging, and more. Some businesses find unique ways to capitalize on the trend; for example, Theo Chocolate has launched limited edition fair trade bars in Marsala-colored packaging.
Bring some Marsala into your crafting with our All-Purpose Ink in Sedona Clay. We stamped a Mark Richards wine bag (of course!) with All-Purpose Ink in Sedona Clay using a foam stamp. Heat set the bag, and the ink will remain permanent.
Or get your Marsala on with StazOn Solvent Ink in Claret. Among other ideas, it makes a great alternative to the ubiquitous pink or red on Valentine’s Day. (Stencil: The Crafter’s Workshop.)
What do you think of Marsala as Pantone’s Color of the Year? Let us know in the comments.
Love it!
I love the StazOn claret color. I just wish your new StazOn colors came in the larger pad instead of the smaller size. And when can we expect refill inkers for the newer colors?
Hi Laura, inkers are available for all StazOn colors, including the newer Midi pads.
I like the 2015 color of the year; it reminds me of my favorite StazOn Midi, Spiced Chai.
I am on the fence about this color! In a way it reminds me of dried blood but it also reminds me of a fine red wine!
mEH. dOUBLE mEH!
I quite like it – my mother has always worn pink – maroon shades and this is a slightly “chocolatey” version that will go with them 🙂
I LOVE this new color! Who knew there could possibly be another color? lol Soooo very pretty!
