WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TRANQUIL DAWN?


A team of expert judges, including former editor-in-chief of Elle Decoration magazine, Michelle Ogundehin, helped Dulux come to the decision on the colour. “Tey found there was a growing desire to find our place in a world where advances in technology can make us feel increasingly disconnected from one another,” explains Shillingford. “We actually see ‘green’ coming through in everything from political movements and environmental concerns, through to dietary choices like veganism. “So this is a colour that reconnects us with nature, infusing rooms with a sense of calm, and is the perfect antidote to our manically busy world.”


HOW WILL IT WORK IN MY HOME?


“It’s an easy colour to use, and ideal for people who are nervous about using colour in their homes. We’re generally a conservative bunch, so many people still have their reservations about bold colour, but Tranquil Dawn is so subtle and easy-on-the-eye,” says Shillingford. “We feel it will work for everyone and every style. Rather than a stand-out feature colour, this is one which you could totally wrap around all the walls in a space and it would look absolutely beautiful. “Alternatively, pairing it with neutral pastels or rich jewel shades can have a totally different impact.”
