Color of the Season/Month/Year 2015

Colour of the Year


Marsala

The colour of the year according to Pantone for 2015 is Marsala. This colour reminds me of red wine, the dry kind. Marsala is a great mix of bordeaux and brownish shades, presenting a totally personality stating and ultra-chic color, which will charm your heart right away with the strict feel and at the same time cute accents. This looks like a symbol of strong innocence living inside each woman, reflecting the passion and the grace, at the same time speaking about the classiness and difficultly achieved attention from those opting for this. So if you want to be the confident and self-assured type of a woman, then just have a look through the fashion shows of Daniel Silverstain, Creatures of the Wind, and Hervé Léger, who present unique forms of interpreting and playing with the essence of this shade demonstrating the different angles, from which such pieces and shades may be used quite successfully. Sandstone and Classic Blue are some of the trendy spring 2015 colors that make perfect pairs with this versatile shade.

Colour of the Month

Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Orange is the colour of the Month
According to ColourHexa in a RGB color space, hex #ed872d (also known as Cadmium orange) is composed of 92.9% red, 52.9% green and 17.6% blue.
Whereas in a CMYK color space, it is composed of 0% cyan, 43% magenta, 81% yellow and 7.1% black.  http://www.colorhexa.com/ed872d

Forgive me if I don't brag about this colour but it is not my particular favourite in the world as with the above colour of the year Marsala. Cadmium orange for me is a very over powering colour and unsure of what areas of the interior spaces of the home I would use it in. However, clothing is a different story as shown below. I guess in a way it would show a quirky side of people.

Cadmium orange I would refuse to wear as I don't believe it would suit my fair tone skin colour, in saying that though people with darker skin I believe as below would suit nicely.

Colour of the Season

Aquamarine

This is by far of the three colours my absolute favourite, really any shade of blue has always been my favourite colour. In the French style this colour is often used as it is a fresh colour and goes with many French colour schemes.

PANTONE 14-4313 Aquamarine
The lead color for women for the Spring/Summer 2015 season, PANTONE 14-4313 Aquamarine is an airy blue with a dreamy feel. Cool and calming, ethereal Aquamarine is a shade with a wet and watery feel. Open and expansive, this restful blue also acts as a stress reducer.

The very first and one of the most delicate shades that we encounter during the shows is aquamarine, coming with its soothing and pleasant tones and just as charming combinations with other shades. What makes this shade so unique is probably the exclusively calming and cool effect it has, thus forming some really impressive pairs with brighter tones as well as the calm ones. In order to find out some designer-made inspirations you can turn to the fashion shows of Monique Lhuillier, Banjanan, BCBG Max Azria, Cynthia Steffe, Pamella Roland, Badgley Mischka, Rachel Pally and many others. Despite the fact that the basic design solutions and the shapes differ, the overall catchy impression that any of these pieces has is evident due to the sweet aquamarine shade. No matter whether those tones are put into combinations with floral motives or something else, whether they come with bold V-curves and overall relaxed silhouettes, A-line shapes and some shimmer, with asymmetrical hems and really impressive draping or just for more practical use featuring jumpsuits with blue and red patterns, aquamarine shades look equally romantic and soothing this spring. You can make perfect outfit combinations pairing Aquamarine with Marsala or Glacier Gray tones. http://www.fashionisers.com/trends/spring-summer-2015-color-trends/

The image above is so elegant and takes me back to what my personal and professional taste in style.
According to Wikipedia aquamarine is a color that is a bluish tint of cerulean toned toward cyan. It is named after the mineral aquamarine, a gemstone mainly found in granite rocks. The first recorded use of aquamarine as a color name in English was in 1598.

Aquamarine is I believe the most versatile colour along with black and white. It can be combined with many other colours such as shades of grey, other blue shades, pastel colours etc.

So for this year, month and season of 2015 three colours stand out and are very popular. Marsala, Cadmium Orange and Aquamarine.

Cheers for now.
