Hey Everyone! Did you know I have an Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History? And that I love color theory? Anyway, the past 2 years I have done videos about the Pantone Color of the Year. Last year was Radiant Orchid and the year before was Emerald. I wanted to do another one for 2015 and the color Marsala. I like to touch on the psychology of color and some basic color theory and the color wheel in these videos! Maybe it will inspire a new color scheme for a quilt, outfit, home decor piece or just get your creative juices flowing and thinking about color in interesting ways.
My post holiday craziness YouTube schedule will be a new video every Monday night! I may add some additional videos here and there but once a week seems like the sweet spot for me right now! New tutorial next week!
I love some of the promotional photos they shared featuring Marsala and this beautiful rich blue.
I personally would have used Red Mahogany, Earth Red or Rose Brown, but here is a photo of the Marsala wine and you can see where they chose the name Marsala.
What do you think of the color Marsala? I think this photo shows how this color is going to be used most of the time.
Here is the dress that I am wearing in the video. It was from my last Stitch Fix box! I love how it fits and it’s so on trend 😉
Here is the video! I hope you enjoy!

Hi ! I LOVE your blog/website/tutorials !!! So far I've made two of your projects: the easy blanket and the easy scarf. I was wondering if you have any easy baby bootie/sandal patterns ?

Marsala wine looks like liquid garnets to me. I love the color mingled with gold tones. Enjoyed the piece.

I am making an Infinity Scarf with Lion Brand Wool-Ease the color "Poinsettia" with metallic thread running through it! Very close to the Marsela color of the year! I love these tones in lip color as well! As a make-up artist and Licensed Aesthetician, I love to see these rich tones being used! Thank you for the video Melanie!
