Marsala is an intense shade of brownish wine mixed with a hint of rust. The color has a rich, earthy appeal. The neutral warmth of the shade complements any skin tone and successfully brings an impact to an assemble without having a contrasting effect. Equally appealing to men and women, the USP of this tone is that it can be blended by using natural dyes and organic colouration techniques thus making it an eco-conscious color.
Extremely versatile, Marsala can be used in all possible fabrics like leather, wool and silk in winter and linen and lighter fabrics during summer. It is a stronger color and works better as a subordinate color instead as a main ground color in any look. Since most 1970’s trend is back, Technicolor shades work well with this muted wine color.
Classic retro like billowing maxi dresses; evening jump suits, lurex twin sets and feminine silk blouses in Marsala look stunning for evening wear. When wearing a Marsala dress, pick jewellery in rose gold or copper, over gold and silver. To highlight a basic outfit, sport statement jewellery encrusted in rubies and garnets. Marsala is a color that suits all skin complexions. It goes best with a warm skin tone and at the same time provides the right pop of color to fair complexioned women.
The best part about this color is that despite being an earthy shade, it adds just the right amount of glamour required for both a day and night look. To stand out in the crowd, try wearing Marsala nails with any evening outfit. Marsala can be used to create light and dark versions of a smoky eye. You can add the tone to your collarbones as well. The tone is very Indian and a must have for weddings. The idea is so gold and glamorous.
