This shade was called ‘Mojito’
All colours from the mill have a name and number. I felt this shade deserved something more elevated so I asked account followers on Instagram what they thought. There were over 50 suggestions. I’ve listed most of them below:

It’s the start of a new cycle, but within that I’ve been reflecting back over the past 30 years and my early days as a designer. A contradiction but by the past coming into my consciousness it’s enabling me to pass over a threshold.
‘Celadon’ was chosen as it reminds me of my first creative job as a colourist. A design consultancy in London just off Bermondsey Street (this was before the area became super trendy). I dyed many variations of this shade for mood boards and trend presentations.
‘Celadon’ is named after traditional Chinese porcelain, known for its delicate luminous quality’
