As a new decade dawns, we’re feeling the calming effects of AkzoNobel’s colour of the year for 2020.

Tranquil Dawn is a fluid shade, encompassing green, blue and grey tones to create an effect of cool serenity.

Heleen Van Gent, Head of AkzoNobel’s Global Aesthetic Center, had this to say about their chosen shade for 2020:

“Tranquil Dawn perfectly captures the 2020 mood of what makes us human… It’s reminiscent of the colors of the morning sky and encapsulates our desire to treasure our most human qualities, which we’ll need in the new decade we are entering. It’s an exciting and inspiring way for us to share our passion for paint with the world.”

AkzoNobel carry out extensive research into colour trends throughout the year, teaming up with leading design professionals to create a colour palette that can be applied across sectors, from home decoration to large scale industrial projects.

Tranquil Dawn will feature in all 4 of AkzoNobel’s ColourFutures palettes for 2020, in order for the customer to be able to find the perfect shade to meet their needs.
