Sheerline can reveal that for the first time since the system was launched, Anthracite Grey( RAL 7016) was not the most popular colour of the year. Instead, it has been replaced by Jet Black( RAL 9005).

» FOR MANY IN THE INDUSTRY, this will not come as a surprise as Jet Black was always going to have a successful year thanks to the popularity of heritage style products. At the same time, the popularity of Anthracite has been steadily decreasing year-on-year, accounting for 30 % of Sheerline orders in 2025, down from 33 % in 2024 and 38 % in 2023 respectively.

The picture from 2025 is very similar to 2024 in that homeowners are increasingly opting for bespoke colours, especially shades of grey, green, and blue, which collectively account for over a third of all colour choices( 37 %). This includes 58 different shades of grey, with Anthracite, Agate Grey( RAL 7038), and Pebble Grey( RAL 7032) all making the top ten.

Sheerline’ s Production Director, Eddy Webb, commented:“ Whether it’ s a school refurbishment or home renovation project, what the figures from 2025 tell us is that people aren’ t afraid to choose something a bit different – whether that’ s a striking shade of yellow like Colza Yellow( RAL 1021), Flame Red( RAL 3000), or Emerald Green( RAL 6001).”

In addition, textured finishes have become much more desirable. From 2024 to 2025, there has been an increase of 155 % in popularity of Jet Black Textured products. This moved it from being the 18th most popular colour last year to 8th this year, driven by the increase in popularity of heritage style products such as the Classic Heritage Door.

The reason Sheerline can provide a comprehensive overview of its colour stats is because everything is powder-coated in-house at its state-of-the-art paint facility. This offers a number of benefits including stringent quality control checks, which go above and beyond the requirements of the accreditations it holds with QUALICOAT and Axalta.
