DH Drab

The epitome of restrained elegance, DH Drab hails from the bygone Georgian era but still has a place in modern homes, particularly when it’s combined with warmer shades for perfect harmony. Evoking all the colours of a forest canopy after summer rain, it’s the colour equivalent of a deep breath and shifts according to the light – sage when the sun is high, ivy when darkness has descended. Because it’s easy on the eyes, use it in a room that requires focus – a home office or reading nook, for example – or to carve out a retreat-like space in a bathroom. Oh-so timeless yet always on-trend.
