A Practical Choice

Next year's color (examples by Pantone)
Time:
A marsala shade of red will be the in color next year across fashion, makeup and interior design. So says the design consultancy firm Pantone, which picked Marsala as the Color of the Year.

“Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal, while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness”
Comments: 1) the florid language fits right in with the over-wrought descriptions found in any oenologist's column. 2) a marsala silk tie would be a very practical addition to the wardrobe---no more panicking over spilt red wine.
