In early September, Dulux announced their colour of the year for 2020<\/a>. In complete contrast to 2019\u2019s warm and rich neutral Spiced Honey, 2020\u2019s colour is a cool, soft green hue they\u2019ve named Tranquil Dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with every year\u2019s selection, 2020\u2019s colour was chosen by\na panel of expert designers, trend forecasters, architects and editors. The\npanel looks at emerging global trends and examines how these might impact the\nway we live. With Tranquil Dawn, Dulux have created a calming and serene shade,\nseemingly influenced by biophilic design. Indeed, the aim of the hue is to help\nus disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other. Dulux say Tranquil\nDawn \u2018reflects a growing desire to understand what it is to be human, at a time\nwhen advances in technology are making us feel increasingly disconnected from\neach other\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start of a new decade and the uncertainty that brings has also influenced the colour choice. \u2018A 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,\u2019 said Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tranquil Dawn is an intriguingly adaptable colour. Alone, it\u2019s an unassuming pastel hue sitting somewhere between green and grey, but when paired with different colour combinations, it takes on new identities. Dulux have created four colour palettes<\/a> based around Tranquil Dawn, and all create a distinct mood. I imagine this will be a fun colour to play around with, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing some exciting and unusual pairings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
