This has been named Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2015 and is an earthy wine red designed to enrich body, mind, and soul. Marsala is a full-bodied color that makes a real impact and can be used as a strong accent to other colors. It is deemed to be a natural fit for the kitchen and dining room because it is a nurturing and fulfilling color. Marsala is also exceptional when added to textured surfaces because its characteristics are enhanced, so consider it when upholstering living room furniture or when choosing rugs.

2. Aquamarine

This is a cool, calming, and ethereal color that provides a wet and watery feel to any room in the home. It is an open and expansive color that acts as a stress reliever. Although Marsala is deemed to be the Color of the Year, it is only Number 9 on the most-used list, whereas aquamarine is Number 1, with more than 16 percent of designers using it. While you may associate it with the bathroom, aquamarine really works well in the living room as you seek to relax after a stressful and tiring day.
