Acai Berry Has Been Named As Johnstone’s Colour Of The Year For 2025

“So many people start their colour selection journey looking at bold hues, but ultimately settle for a more expected or muted colour,” said Donna Taylor, PPG colour expert, Architectural Coatings, UK & Ireland. “This year we are encouraging these users, to put aside trepidation about what the neighbours will think or potential resale value. For 2025, purple isn’t just permitted, it is encouraged.”
