Cool Jade is the Dulux colour of the year 2009*. The
importance of all shades of green has grown in recent
years, from soft citrus tints and attention grabbing
natural tones to hi-tech futuristic shades. Green is a
colour associated with both nature and science.
This particular cool jade has a sense of natural stillness,
of healing and balance. Its soothing tone is represented
in different shades in more than one theme.
In both exterior and interior decoration, jade green has
an important part to play. In modernist terms it works
with glass, steel, concrete and combines with a cool
palette of grey, soft blues, taupe and chocolate;
whilst for a softer and more domestic look it can be
combined with warmer tones like plum, terracotta,
peach and nude pink.
This green is balanced and wholesome-a
contemplative and soothing shade that speaks of
community care and social responsibility- a nurturing
colour for an emotionally hungry world.
*Dulux Colour of the year is the result of an on-going
world wide colour trend research, forecasting and
development and establishes Dulux paint as the worldwide
colour authority.
