Shop Front Colours: RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey and Other Popular Choices
The most popular shop front spray colours, led by RAL 7016 anthracite grey, plus brand colour matching and out-of-hours spraying that keeps you trading.
Choosing a Shop Front Colour
A shop front's colour does a lot of work. It signals your brand, catches passing footfall, and sets the tone before anyone reads a word. You do not need a new storefront to change it: spraying the existing aluminium or UPVC frontage on-site gives you any colour, often overnight, so the unit keeps trading.
Our shop front spraying service recolours frontages across Hampshire, including shop front spraying in Southampton and Portsmouth.
The Most Popular Shop Front Colours
- RAL 7016 anthracite grey — by far the most requested commercial colour, clean and contemporary on almost any building.
- Black (RAL 9005) — high-contrast and premium for signage-led frontages.
- Brand colours — matched to your exact RAL, BS, or Pantone reference so the frontage aligns with your identity.
RAL 7016 in particular has become the default modern commercial grey. It reads as smart and neutral, pairs with almost any signage, and hides day-to-day wear better than lighter shades.

Matched to Your Brand, Sprayed Out of Hours
We colour-match to any brand specification and, because the work is sprayed on-site, we schedule overnight or out-of-hours so the storefront is finished and ready before you open. The glass, signage, and seals are masked for a crisp, factory-grade finish.
Rebrand Without Replacing the Frontage
For a refit or rebrand, spraying the existing frontage is a fraction of the cost of a new shop front, with no removal, no downtime, and no waiting on fabrication.
