Selected by an expert panel of colour designers, trend forecasters, design specialists, architects and editors from around the world, thesoft green hue was thought to embody the nation’s mood on the approach of a new decade.
According to the panel, it reflects a growing desire to understand what it is to be human at a time when advances intechnologyare making us feel increasingly disconnected from each other.
Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director, Dulux UK, says: “A new decade heralds a new dawn and the hazy pale green tones of Tranquil Dawn™ are calming and comforting just when we need it most in our lives.
But if you don't fancy a decorator getting their dust sheets out and re-painting your home, there are plenty of other ways to bring the spirit of Tranquil Dawn in.
