MyFixitUpLife show: Why is 'Marsala' the Pantone color of the year?
With Pantone’s announcement of the color of the year, we wanted to find ways to incorporate Marsala into our home.
Marsala is a strong, warm, bold color. It’s often thought of as a neutral, like beige or navy blue. It works as a color for formal spaces or casual-cozy places.
If you are into the color, it’s easy to pair it with other colors. We searched around for examples of the color online, and here is a round up of photos from out Pinterest board showcasing this chosen color.
We talked with color expert Amy Wax from Color 911 and Virginia DesRoches from Artful Interiors about Marsala on MyFixitUpLife LIVE! Check out the interviews.
Amy Wax from Color 911 has shared colors that compliment Marsala.

Marsala doesn’t just have to be for the home. It can be incorporated in to your makeup…
Your jewelry…
Or even your wardrobe.

That’s why I love that it’s easy to try out LED backlighting. Using lamps that you already own, or battery-powered LED strip lighting, you can achieve the look without having to change what’s already in your home. And for the less-than-visual family members, testing out a look helps give them an opportunity to react to your ideas.
