Find your Inspiration With MY Colour by Johnstone’s

Your home is your own space. It says something about who you are and what makes you feel good.  Your style is unique; you decide what you find inspiring or beautiful. MY colour is designed to help you make your own colour choices. Take inspiration from the carefully selected palette consisting of 21 hand-picked colours.

60-30-10 Principle

Thanks to the Intense Colour Technology, MY colour delivers rich, beautiful colours made to last. The high-quality colour pigments ensure deep and intense colours remain beautiful for longer. Why stop with one colour? It’s easy to create your own palette using the 60-30-10 colour principle to create a look that’s personal to you.  

The 60-30-10 principle helps you find the right balance in your home between your chosen accent wall, furniture and décor. Dare to try something new or trust your own intuition and style; the choice is yours. 

To apply the 60-30-10 principle in your home, study all the elements that are incorporated in the space you want to paint. Set the tone by choosing a main paint colour which will cover 60% of the room.

Fill 30% of the room with a feature colour of your choice!

Finish the remaining 10% with an accent colour as a finishing touch.

60-30-10 is not only about the walls and ceilings: consider how the furniture, doors and accessories all play a part in pulling your scheme together. MY colour Luxurious Durable Matt can be used on many surfaces, meaning you can paint your doors, frames and skirting board all in your chosen colour. 

Find your Perfect Colour 

Find your perfect colour and bring it to life in your home using the MY colour Peel & Stick samples, made with 100% real paint and backed by our Intense Colour Technology. Be confident in your choice by putting your colour to the test. Try it on different walls, at different times of the day and in different lights. Plus, you don’t have to worry about leaving any marks, simply peel the tester away and get painting!  

Test in Multiple Places

Natural light can bounce off the different angles of your wall and affect the way you see your chosen colour, so make sure you try your sample on different walls in your room.  

Test at Different Times

As dusk sets in, you may find that the light alters how you visualise the colour in your room. Try looking at your sample at different times of the day. 

Turn the Lights On

Artificial light can change how your desired colour looks. Yellow or blue tones of your lightbulb can alter the true paint colour. So make sure you switch the lights on! 

Create your Look

Compare the sample next to your furniture to see if the colours complement each other, or create your own mood board by pairing your sample with other wallpaper and textile samples.
