You’ve decided to have your car wrapped — but then comes the big question: which colour should you choose? Choosing the colour is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the whole process, but it can also be overwhelming. With hundreds of colours, finishes and effects, there’s plenty to choose from. We’ll help you get started with the most popular colours and some practical tips.
Popular colours in 2026
This year, we’re seeing a clear trend towards sophisticated, dark shades with a premium look. Satin Dark Grey is by far the most popular choice — it combines the elegance of a matt finish with a subtle sheen. Matt Midnight Blue is ideal for those who want something unique without being too flashy. And Gloss Racing Green is making a strong comeback, particularly on sporty models and classic cars.
What suits your car?
Not every colour works equally well on every type of car. A large SUV looks stunning in a dark, matt colour, whilst a compact city car can really stand out with a fresh, eye-catching shade. The shape of your car also plays a part: sharp lines are better shown off in a gloss finish, whilst rounded shapes are beautifully emphasised by satin or matt finishes.
Bear these tips in mind when choosing your colour:
- Take a look at the shape of your car — sharp lines or rounded shapes call for a different finish
- Think about whether you want to drive discreetly or, on the contrary, in a way that stands out
- Check the colour in both daylight and artificial light — colours vary significantly depending on the light source
- Always ask for a colour sample so that you can assess the colour on the paintwork
A good car wrap starts with the right colour. Take your time, because you’ll be driving it around every day.
