126: Are you ready for your walls to give you a sweet embrace? Interview with Marianne Shillingford from Dulux

Hot off the press of Dulux’s annual Colour of the year announcement, Sophie and Kate talk all things colour trends with Creative Director of Dulux, Marianne Shillingford. The colour all our walls will be wearing next year is Sweet embrace, a delicate pink, with a tinge of lilac nudging towards a cool grey. It’s a response to continued pressures stresses and starins we are all suffering under. It’s not quite the optimistic party colour Kate and Sophie were hoping for, but that’s coming Marianne assures us, but the masses aren’t quite ready for it yet. A jewel of an episode bursting with insights into the art of colour forecasting, the emotions of colour and why a soft pink is what we all need right now.
