DCO Colour of the Year - Vanilla Matcha

Vanilla Matcha: A soft creamy off white with a whisper of warmth from a spearmint-green undertone. Vanilla Matcha is a gentle, milky off-white that instantly softens a space. Its warm spearmint-green undertone brings a sense of clarity and stillness, making it a beautiful choice for homes seeking calm, light and ease. This is an effortlessly liveable shade: bright enough to lift a room, but warm enough to feel nurturing rather than stark. Perfect if you want a clean base with a soothing, cocoon-like quality. Best Light Source: Vanilla Matcha shines in both natural and artificial light. In bright rooms it feels airy and quietly radiant; in lower-light spaces it becomes warmer and cosier. Room Type: It is ideal as a whole-home neutral for living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and open-plan spaces. Finishes: Leyland Trade Vinyl Matt - Suitable for walls & ceilings. Leyland Trade Hardwearing Acrylic Eggshell - Suitable for walls, metal and interior wooden surfaces. Leyland Trade Hardwearing Matt - Suitable for interior walls and woodwork.
