Last week, paint retailing giant Dulux announced their Colour of the Year for 2020. To mark the new decade, the company chose a shade that sits somewhere between blue, green and grey named ‘Tranquil Dawn.’

From their press release:

As 2020 is the start of a new decade, it’s a fresh start. A new dawn. In an increasingly hectic and digital world, there is a desire for meaning and kindness. So, inspired by the colours of the morning sky, our colour experts have created an inspiring new shade, Tranquil Dawn.
— Dulux

Marianne Shillingford, the Creative Director of Dulux, told the press that Tranquil Dawn is a colour that “lies between the land and the sky on a misty morning”.

Meanwhile, Real Home Magazine called it “as soft and neutral as green can get”.

Using tranquil dawn in your home:

Tranquil Dawn is a versatile shade that can be used with a range of other colours.

Add soft and sandy tones for a touch of warmth, create a calm and tranquil space by pairing it with dusky shades or blend it with black and white for a bold look.
