​Let your walls breathe with Claypaint and Earthborn’s Colour of the Year 2025

January, heralding the dawn of a New Year, serves as a wonderful opportunity for fresh beginnings and new chapters in our lives. This time of year, naturally inspires us to tidy, declutter, organize, and reimagine our spaces for the upcoming year.

Refreshing colour palettes can bring new life to a home, and it's a quick win.

We are always eager to discover Earthborn’s Colour of the Year, as it is the result of thoughtful consideration and fascinating factors. Previous selections have included delightful shades such as  Lily Lily Rose (2022), Lady Bug (2023), and last year’s sophisticated Hopscotch.

We are pleased to see that Earthborn has recently unveiled Crocky Road as this year’s Colour of the Year.

Introducing Earthborn’s Colour of the Year for 2025:

“As we move towards a greater embrace of earthy palettes in interior design, Crocky Road stands out as a timeless and versatile choice. It perfectly balances sophistication and creativity, making it ideal for various design styles.” - Earthborn.

Crocky Road

Crocky Road beautifully enhances both contemporary and traditional environments. Its gentle warmth enriches the neutral palette, promoting harmony and unity. With delicate green undertones, it exudes an inviting, earthy essence. As a quintessential Victorian hue, Crocky Road in Earthborn's highly breathable Claypaint emulsion stands out as an ideal selection for heritage properties, allowing you to celebrate their unique charm.

Why We Love This Colour

Crocky Road has a grounding quality that works beautifully with bold, vibrant colour schemes, while also fitting seamlessly into calming palettes. We can see this colour in cosy nooks with minimal light, as well as in bedrooms, where it creates a calm atmosphere. This is definitely a colour worth considering if you are thinking about decorating this spring.

What makes Earthborn Paints so unique?

Depth

Earthborn colours are known for their rich pigmentation and exquisite finish, which can significantly enhance the natural light in any room.

One Coat

Thick and creamy, Earthborn’s Claypaint covers well and often needs one coat less than conventional paints.

First in the UK

They were the first in the UK to carry the prestigious  EU Ecolabel. It provides independent, third-party assurance that the product meets the highest possible environmental performance and is the only ecological product certification scheme that is accepted EU-wide.

No Smells

No horrible smells or emissions are better for everyone – especially asthma and allergy sufferers.

Breathability

Breathable paint will allow the natural moisture in the walls and atmosphere to flow through the walls without damaging the building. Breathability is an essential consideration in older buildings and lime-plastered properties. Ensuring that older structures can "breathe" is necessary to prevent future issues.

Safer for little ones

Earthborn paints carry the Safety of Toys Standard, so they are ideal for children’s rooms, toys, and furniture. They are completely free of oils, latex, and enamel (virtually VOC-free!). Making Claypaint the ideal paint to use if you are pregnant!

Complete the Look

Crocky Road has three finishes:  Claypaint, Lifestyle, and Eggshell No. 17. This colour is highly versatile and suitable for any room orientation. It naturally brightens darker spaces, while the soft green undertones help balance harsh light in brighter rooms.

For a bold look, you can pair Crocky Road with vibrant hues like Balloon Ride or Can-Can or create a serene retreat with softer shades such as Marbles and Straw. It works harmoniously with similar colours. Give it a try!
