IT’S fair to say some shades come and go... all the rage one season, gone the next. But there’s one hue that can accurately claim to be evergreen.

“Green is one of the most naturally comforting colours we can bring into our homes because it connects us instantly to the world outside,’ highlights Marianne Shillingford, creative director and colour expert at Dulux. “As the colour of leaves, gardens and new growth, it carries all the optimism and freshness of spring with it, helping spaces feel calmer, lighter and more restorative.”

Indeed, she says it's also becoming one of the most popular colours in our homes.
