The Art Of Tonal Colour
Known for creating spaces that feel both considered and effortless, A New Day founder Andrew Jonathan Griffiths has an instinctive understanding of how colour shapes mood and light. For this edit, he shares some of his favourite paint makers, in hues that anchor his rooms while allowing them to breathe – from soft clay neutrals to muted greens. Each colour tells a story: the calm of early light, the warmth of aged plaster, the countryside.

Tone on Tone Neutrals
A favourite in the industry, Paint & Paper Library offers tonal neutrals in an ultra-matte, chalky finish. Their shades create a cohesive, high-end finish.
Inspirational New Colours
London-based Pickleson Paints is a joy. Inspired by the Italian countryside, this neutral carries soft green undertones. Their brilliant website talks through complementary colours.
Atmospheric Washes
Andrew’s approach to colour is not about statement, but atmosphere. This colour wash embraces the depth of Edward Bulmer Paint’s natural earth and mineral pigments.
First Light Neutrals
The walls, ceiling and woodwork here is a warm, soft neutral, inspired by dawn, by Little Green Paint. Its high light reflectance makes rooms feel airy and spacious.
Mixing In Deeps
For a classic yet fun look, perfect for a child’s room, painting the lower half of a wall in a deep tone adds richness without overwhelming the space.
