Artistic Sign Design – MARSALA Is The 2015 Pantone Colour Of The Year
Muted Marsala
Earlier this week Pantone announced that Marsala is the 2015 Colour Of The Year.
This is a big step away from last year’s Radiant Orchid, and the brighter tones from the past few years.
While last year’s Radiant Orchid had us conjuring up images in our heads of Kelly Osbourne’s coif, this year Marsala steps in and the colour reminds us of how much we loved hearing Ricardo Montalban speak about corinthian leather.
We would describe Marsala as a muted colour, that could easily blend with earth tones an well as neutral hues. This colour does not have the intense pigment of the colours in recent years so this shade will be a great compliment to many artistic designs.
Many times an understated colour can help your message stand out. As you can see in the picture above, Marsala gives a great contrast to the message on the image without having to give the punch of a bold primary colour.
When it comes to artistic sign design we believe your colour choice is a huge factor when it comes to complimenting your comany’s brand. Colour makes a statement in your business logo, but the choice of colour in the logo design can say far more than you may have realized. By having a professional signmaker suggest colours for your signage, you will have confidence knowing that your business sign will stand out without being an eye-sore.

We want to know what you think of MARSALA as Pantone’s choice for the 2015 colour of the year. Leave a comment below, send us a tweet or comment on this post on our facebook page!
Artistic Sign Design – Radiant Orchid Is The 2014 Pantone Colour Of The Year
Passionate For Purple
When Pantone announced the 2014 Colour Of The Year would be Radiant Orchid, it was described as an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones. This a very fresh and young colour which often see in Florals, Easter Jelly Beans, and suprisingly enough Celebrity Hairstyles.
Out With The Old
Last year Emerald made a impact as the 2013 Colour Of The Year with it’s bold jewel tones and striking vibrancy. With a much paler tone being added to the Pantone’s yearly collection, it will interesting to see if designers will take an understated artistic approach to including Radiant Orchid into their upcoming design projects.
Artistic Sign Design
Our expert sign makers have already found a way to incorporate shades of purple into their artistic sign designs. They chose to lighten up a 3 dimensional Christmas display this year with a lavender colour that looks very close to Radiant Orchid.
Adding pops of colour can give signs and designs an extra punch that can aid with visibilty and make it memorable. Adding too much of a good thing can have the opposite effect. You want to avoid your artistic designs from becoming eye-sores. Remember that less is more when it comes to logos and signs. Think of the message you want to convey and how colours and fonts can give you the results you are looking for. All of these choices are a representation of your brand.
