“Marsala enriches our mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®.”  After the recession that we have had, and continues to nibble at our confidence, such a grounding color as Marsala is what we need to regain confidence.

Look for the color Marsala in fabrics, fashions and graphic design.
