BS 4800 Colours

The BS 4800 range is a collection of 100 paint colours for building purposes which are included within the British Standards framework BS 5252:1976. The framework specifies these selected colours as the source for all building colour standards and the means of co-ordinating them.

BS 4800 colours are widely recognised in the UK and are frequently used to fulfil safety requirements. The British Standards 1710:1984 for building services recommends specific colours for specific pipelines.

Johnstone’s can provide BS 4800 colours in a wide range of products and finishes. See the Johnstone’s colour selector for the range of colours and a guide to the finishes available.
