By now you have heard about Pantone's color of the year for 2015.
If not, it's Marsala. A redish-brown color. And its all over Pinterest.


Once, you start looking for it you will see a ton of color pairing ideas
(on Pinterest). There are some that already dislike the color choice and
while I'm not totally sure if I'm in love with it...I think I like it...maybe.

What I like most is the muted color variations that can be paired with it.
(See above)
The wedding color scheme I found can be inspiration for tons of jewelry ideas.

Here are some beads I found (some I've already purchased) from one of my
favorite Etsy shop owners. Karen at ArteBellaSurplus is a joy to work with
and always has the best selection of Czech glass beads around!

Can you tell I'm ready for Spring? Love the Pansies...and
Karen has other colors to choose from! I've already ordered the Plumeria Pansies
and can't wait to create something Spring-y.

After discovering all the design color possibilities using the color Marsala...
I think my 'maybe' is definitely a Yes!

Do you have any plans to design using this color? If so, what colors will you pair with Marsala?
