Every year we review the best selling paint colours across all of our paint ranges to look at colour trends and see which colours are most popular.
It is always fascinating to see the results and can help with decision making if you’re looking for a paint colour and don’t know where to start!
WALL PAINT
In 2024 we launched our high performance water-based eco Wall Paint in a range of colours from the Wood Paint range. This luxurious flat matt durable paint contains VOC free exterior-grade colour pigments that are deeply rich and stay true for many many years.
All of the popular off-whites, heritage tones and vibrant colours feature in the colour range and are proving to be a hit with interesting variations. Colour choices are varied throughout all pack sizes with a beautiful spread from muted tones to strong black, green, grey and blue into softer pastel colours then joyful vibrant pops of orange, pink and teal. Things are black and white at the top 10 of the best-selling colours chart for 2.5 litre tins with the elegant Whey White taking top spot, followed by Swan White and Blackdown, with the dark heritage tones of Field Green, Bishop Blue and Cavepool Grey along with the softer heritage colours from Reed Green and Slade Green, to Dulcote Stone and Greymond.
The fashion for pinks is evident with Rock Rose, Cheddar Pink and Foxwhelp Red being popular choices across pack sizes, joined by the pretty Purple Orchid also spreading beauty in homes.
Colour choice will always be a personal matter and the wonderful variety of shades and colours shows how paint can make a room warm and enveloping, light and airy, or joyful and fun. You can explore all of the Wall Paint colours in our shop or by requesting a colour chart with hand painted chips so you can see exact colours unaffected by digital screens.

WOOD PAINT
A number of changes have occurred this year in the Wood Paint top 20 chart with the vibrant colours of Rowan Berry Red and Cheddar Pink coming back in with Purple Divine and Rock Rose making their first appearance and Sundowner Orange remaining popular.
Overall heritage tones remain dominant with natural wood tones increasing in popularity. The gorgeous tones of Old Sage Green and Sedge Green reflect a desire for natural beauty in the garden, with Mercury Grey and Cavepool Grey adding bold elegance to timber structures.
With the VOC exterior-grade colour pigments in our high-performance satin Wood Paint that is specifically engineered for exterior use, the paint colour and coating will stay strong and true for many years, despite what the elements throw at it!
PEELABLE GLASS PAINT
Dragon Red took the number 2 spot in the 750ml tins due to an art installation in Germany on the theme of Paint the Town Red, that painted the large glass entrance to a museum in red then peeled it off dramatically at the end of the event. The unique resin in Peelable Glass Paint is made from 100% recycled plastic, giving it a unique flexibility and ability to be peeled off windows at the end of a season, or if left on it hardens to a highly durable water-repellent coating.
Other than Dragon Red at the top of the chart, the traditionally popular choices for greenhouse and conservatory shading paint remains black and white followed by a beautiful array of heritage tones, with the surprising entrance of Muddle Brown accompanying popular translucent colours of Goblin Green and Bandit Blue. 150ml art tins are dominated by rainbow colours at the top with an attractive selection of heritage tones following.
