said Miss Marrs, who now works as a cultural producer at Leisure & Culture Dundee.

"It was back at the beginning of this year and I had quite forgotten it until I was on a boat on the Tay River in my hometown of Dundee, and there were lots of beautiful green and green tones - some very ash but some really bright and vibrant , deep and rich dancing in the water."

So when I got home after being out on the water, I made a cup of tea and sat down to choose the perfect color.I always liked the colors in the green / blue teal family.

"It feels really amazing It's an absolute privilege to have a color named after me It's been a real experience but very special and very abundant at times I can see we have to redecorate."
