Pantone Color Report
"Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors."
Leatrice Eiseman
"This season displays earthy neutrals with a range of bold color statements and patterns to reflect a landscape of hope, fun, fantasy and all things natural.
The colors are evocative of a love for nature and a timeless appreciation for warmth and security, which are conveyed through naturally inspired colors that remind us of things that are real and protective.
"The Fall 2015 palette is also rooted in multifaceted, androgynous colors that can be worn to portray effortless sophistication across men's and women's fashions.
It is the first time we are seeing a truly unisex color palette."
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
