Pantone's colour of the year: Marsala

What is Marsala? You may be asking yourself. Basically it's a dark red with milk chocolate hues.
It's a type of wine and I gather that the colour itself was derived from the colour of this wine.

Top two pics are of a lipstick I made in the excitement of finding out about Marsala :3

The top colours they (Pantone) have stated in reverse order:

Aquamarine in it's lightest shade

Scuba blue which is turquoise

Lucite green just think hospital scrubs

Classic blue is almost a jean blue, think the blues and that's the colour

Toasted almond is a beige brown colour, similar to blush

Strawberry ice is a dusty pink frosting colour. Best way to describe it

Tangerine is a muted orange close to peach. The opposite of lucite green

Custard is a light yellow with greys

Glacier grey well this was actually the last "colour" and it's light grey nothing much to say about it besides it has pink tones

Last but not least Marsala...the red of the year, a red-brown colour that is perfect for an accessory or an entire dress. Flattering on most skintones but not easily acquired, perhaps in this year we will be able to snag some pieces in this colour. 

Here is a link to Pantone's website to a page where they tell you the respective colours they chose for fall but of course you don't have to follow that ;)
