The 60 Best Colour accounts on Instagram 2025

Instagram has always been awash with colourful accounts. As a Rainbow Hunter I’ve spent a lot of time stalking them. There are some truly remarkable colourful Instagram accounts out there that will boost your mood in an instant, as their vibrant pictures and reels land on your feed – and we could all do with some of that energy as a January pick-me-up.

So, if like me you could do with a daily dose of colour,  start with my recommendations for the Best Colour accounts to follow on Instagram.

I originally published this list on Blue Monday in 2019: the ’20 Best Colour accounts to follow’ for 2023’s Blue Monday it grew to 50. For 2025 It’s been increased to 60 to  include new accounts that have since caught my eye.

Which will you follow?

Criteria for the Best Colour & Most Colourful accounts on Instagram

All shortlists have a bias according to their author. There are millions of Instagram accounts and it’s no easy feat to compile a ‘best 60.’ So I created a selection process which are standards they need to meet to be recommended by me as the Best colour accounts on Instagram…

Content Not Follower Numbers

Follower numbers are irrelevant. This list is not about Instagrammers with huge followings, but people who genuinely love colour, it’s clearly their passion and they share it in an inspiring way.

This shortlist focuses on real people and real lives (no Ai only accounts)

Alive and Kicking

I’m only including active accounts that have posted content within the last year.

People Not Brands

I’ve made this distinction because I didn’t want it to feel like a sponsored post. There are infinite brands who have big budgets behind their accounts. This shortlist focuses on real people and real lives not corporate companies. 

However, I’ve limited each category so that there’s a diversity content topics. It would have been easy to only feature fashion bloggers or artists but I want the list to have a mix of different content genres.

Originality & Creativity

There are numerous accounts that share other people’s Instagram accounts but then there are people that put in time and effort to curate their own feeds and it’s these creative minds who I salute and who you’ll see on this list – featuring topics including art, design, food, crafts and travel, but original content not re-posts.

Ai…i’ve kept in accounts that use some Ai but removed the accounts that only make Ai content, there’s way too many of them now and they just don’t feel authentic. Too many are cliched and samey so I decided they don’t deserve to be in my recommendations!

Of course, there are many other brilliant and beautiful colour themed accounts (which leaves room for me to update this post in the future!) but for now, these are my recommendations for the Best Colour accounts to follow on Instagram right now in 2025 to brighten up Blue Monday 2025 and beyond.

Do you agree with my recommendations? Have I forgotten anyone you think deserves a mention? If so, let me know in the comments. Here goes…

1. London.colour.walk

The London Colour Walk community is a group of colour-loving creatives that meet up once a month in a kaleidoscopic gathering in East London’s Old Spitalfield’s Market. At each gathering a group photo captures all the outfits and on their Instagram account you can see these colourful clans.

TOP TIP: If you’re keen to follow more colour fashion accounts check to see who the account is following because it’s mostly the regular folk that attend and you’ll find some bonus colourful instagram accounts to follow.

2.srillustrator

There’s not a single illustration that Srishti does that i’m not a fan of. I love the colourful character-filled world she created with her digital designs crammed full or details and daily observations about life. 

3.michellenorrisphoto

All round talented creative Michelle’s post are always ahead of the curve. I love that she’s unapologetically herself and so generous with her content sharing.

4.rommydebommy

One day I will own one of her hyperrealistic food bags, the queston is, how does one pick which one?

5.rainbow.shaker

Interior Designer Justine hosts a Podcast called Colour Your Home Happy and her posts are filled with her gorgeous home that she’s designed and I’ve had the pleasure of visiting!

6.emilygossipnails

I had to slip in a nail bar. Inst is a brilliant place for nail inspo. 

7.valeriamarinaci

I didn’t know colourful tattoos existed until I came across Valeria’s instagram account and I loved her work so much that I booked her to do my first every tattoo and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Her style is influenced by embroidery and folk art and her accounts shares some of her work.

8.themarkmontano

Hands down my fave crafter on Instagram. Mark’s work has a distinct boho aesthetic and his ideas are easy to follow and so inspiring.

9.parambanana

Probably the coolest fashion designer in India right now. But it’s not just his work that is so striking, his make up and personal styling is phenomenal. 

10.embrajulie

11.angela.bastias

12.novasistas

13.liddierowl

14.aww.sam

One of my favourite Instagram accounts period – Sam’s incredible dressing up costume ideas are so imaginative, as are her many happy bakes. Since I started following Sam, she’s got married and had a child and these two life changes have slotted into her colourful content with such ease it’s joyful to see. You will love stepping into her retro-tinged world.

15.interiorcurve

When Siobhan appeared on TV screens as a contestant on Interior Design Masters, coloured hair folk like myself finally felt seen. Her makeovers were magnificent and her Instagram is a fun curation of her maximalist home, cute clothing and gorgeous interior makeovers.

16. michelleogundehin

Speaking of Interior Design Masters, Presenter and Head Judge of the show Michelle has curated her Instagram to help people find their favourite colours. Each square flows into another photo of a different shade of the same colour, creating different sections and colour palettes. Very clever and very inspiring.

17.space.ram

Ramzy’s pictures have a rainbow fantasy theme and will appeal to anyone who loves the unicorn aesthetic. Plus I can’t help but think if only many of the worlds they created were real.

18. suekreitzman 

Artist Extraordinaire Sue Kreitzman is someone I am lucky to call a friend. She lives in the most colourful home in London surrounded by handmade creations. Her grid is a diary of her colourful antics and antiques!

19.splendid_rags

Leslie describes her feed as visual optimism. I particularly adore her quirky compositions and the interesting angles.

20. _jujujust_

Woolly wallhangings – every single one is amazing, together they are overwhelming – it’s like a grid of crafty dreams.

21. bondwimbledon

Despite being an active Londoner I’ve still not managed to spy Bond Wimbledon riding around on London’s most colourful bicycle but at least we can catch up on his colourful roadtrips via this extraordinary collection of photos.

22. cybr.grl

Queen of decora fashion, Kristina is always accessorised head-to-toe in a kitsch rainbow aesthetic, giving her account a kooky, cool and colourful edge. It’s really quite something scrolling through and seeing her many artistic ensembles.

23. homewithsisi

With its distinct ‘Tropical Maximalism’ aesthetic, Sisi invites us into her colourful home which is constantly being updated with new creative ideas. There are many incredible colourful interiors accounts and I easily could have filled this line-up with them.  I decided that’s best saved for a future post so keep an eye for that and for now I’ve chosen Sisi to represent : )

24. the_colour_file

Inspiring arrangements, rainbow-hued artwork, handmade goodness and home accessories; there’s a bit of everything on Martha’s account which makes for a very relaxing scroll through.

25. apetalunfolds

An entire account filled with flowers created by botanical stylist Susan, which are utterly gorgeous. A joyous and energising floral feed.

26. tmk_henna

Bold graphic patterns and colours from a henna artist based in Malaysia who’s always smiling (and we could all do with seeing more smiles and less pouts.)

27. Fatimarbaig

There are so many south Asian artists to follow on Instagram,  but for now I’m picking Fatima to represent because I really like her block colours and consistently colourful digital art (and I also have a separate post about my favourite south Asian artists to follow, an update of that article to follow soon!)

28. sarahcoeyart

A Scottish rainbow artist, Sarah’s intuitive paintings are mesmerising and magical, see how she creates her commissions and perhaps even order one yourself.

29. pantone

I know I said no corporates in this list but Pantone are considered ‘the’ global authority on colour and it’s definately one to follow if you’re new to following colour-specific accounts to ease you in, and inspire you. It’s the only ‘brand’ in the list mainly because of the authority they are and I like the way their content is timely.

30. studiomucci

Mental health, creativity, life: Amina shares her rainbow existence, the good, the bad and everything in between on her vibrant Instagram.

31. Yasi_pinkarella

A whole heap of pink content for a lover of pink who has been wearing only pink for nearly 20 years!

32.Imakestagram

The queen of tinsel fashion and crafts, this account seriously sparkles!

33. manya_cherabuddi

Colour Witch Manya’s beautiful account is dedicated to natural colours and natural dyes and she runs some fascinating workshops online where you can also try your hand at making your own colours. Just magical! Oh and I really want to go to one of her in person sessions in India too : )

34. mushroomcoloratlas

Whether fungi is your friend or fiend, this account is educational and filled with colour palette inspo so you’ll really get your content’s worth when you follow.

35. therachelhendersonstudio

Dopamine Designer Rachel Henderson is the queen of upcycling furniture and room transformations all sprinkled with her warmth and positive vibes – I love how generous she is sharing her techniques too.

Heidi makes natural pigments using the earth and her beautiful curation of photographs and dyes can be admired for hours.  A reminder that colour isn’t just about bold brights; natural neutrals are just as powerful.

37. luminary_colour

An educational account by colour forecaster Anna Starmer, different industries look to her for advice on the latest and best colour combinations and trends that she sources from around the world.

38. sharecestudios

Experimentations, squeegee action and patterns galore this is the kind of account that makes scrolling breaks acceptable.

39. lizharryscolourfulhome

Guaranteed to bring joy to your day Lizzy Harry’s main account shows her illustration design work and online shop but her ‘home’ account has more of a lifestyle feel and captures every day colour in an inspiring way.

40. pipnpop

Tanya Schultz is an Australian artist known for her pastel appreciation and candy coloured art installations. Her account is filled with dreamy sculptures.

41. davidspeeduk

I could have featured any number of street artists in this round-up but again, I feel like the topic deserves it’s own post so for now I’m choosing David to represent because his spray can work has such a distinct aesthetic. I love how he juxtaposes neon with darkness but creates so many different compositions with this consistent colour palette.

42. izzy_pole

From street art to performance art, Izzy doesn’t just dazzle with her mesmerising moves – her lighting scheme is next level and I am here for it.

45. dis._.grace

I should really be sending you to Grace’s TikTok as that’s where their content thrives but their Instagram is also the home of rainbow aesthetic appreciation. Their outfit curations often include handmade pieces but it’s their make-up and beauty looks that are worth keeping an eye on – so much raw talent!

46. hol_fox

It took me a week to compile this epic post and I got through a lot of biscuits so it’s only right I share of my fave cookie accounts, take a scroll threw to admire how all the colours change and blend.

47. saltyseattle

An entire account dedicated to plant-dyed pasta – yes it’s a niche but it’s an impressive one. The recipes and concepts on this account are very appealing and it’s so good to know this the food isn’t coloured with additives and nasties, but plants!

48. katiekortmanart

Katie doesn’t just make her own clothes, she designs their patterntastic prints as well, while stying her outfits in a joyful way. Guaranteed to make you up your wardrobe game.

49. milatextiles

Hand-stitched balaclavas – now you don’t see those every day. Artist Kamila is a 3D embroidery expert whose designs have a striking, unexpected aesthetic.

50. faux.cakes

I could have chosen an account with real edible bakes but as this blog is in favour of handmade crafts here’s some fun, fake cakes instead!

51. taryndevere

There’s no one quite like Taryn, the thrifty queen of hatmaking, upcycling and second hand clothes and ‘probably the most colourful woman in Ireland.’

52. abagg

Colour therapy and sound go hand-in-hand and you can appreciate both in this account of Allison a Vibe Alchemist (coolest job title ever?!)

53. manicminotaur

I love the extreme detailing that goes into Scott’s digital illustrations they have a Where’s Wally feel to them, a lot of time can be spent appreciating each one.

54. minoritynomad

Its so easy to get lost in travel content, it’s a form of storytelling in its own right but no one spins a tale quite like Erick. Each of his candid shots are colourful and accompanied by poignant stories.

55. soofiya

It’s tough being honest about your personal life for all to see and hear but I love how artist Soofiya uses art as their medium to find their authentic expression.

56. julianradwildlife

I confess that as much as I love fashion and travel and style and craft….it’s the animal accounts that I really enjoy. Julian’s photography captures so much character and the colours are so stunning, they really take you to these moments of magic.

57. unicorn_manes_bymykey

Friends regularly tag me in colourful hairdresser accounts and I love seeing how popular rainbow-hues have become alongside all the creative techniques. If you’re one of those folk that dreams of dyeing their hair but in reality won’t do it, live vicariously through these unique souls and their hairdos.

58. luminarycolourandstyle

59. artizineuk

60. africanprintsinfashion

61. BONUS ACCOUNT @momtazbh (aka my account!)

Well I couldn’t not mention my own account! I feel like I joined The ‘Gram late but as soon as I started posting photos all my photos were naturally colourful. My grid is based on my everyday life.

I don’t go out of my way to plan colourful backdrops, it’s genuinely what I wear, where I go and what I get up to so you’re guaranteed a regular dose of crafts, art, travel and colour.

Online colour therapy

So there you have it – the Best Colour accounts on Instagram, follow them for your fix of colour therapy. Exposure to so much aesthetic fuel will uplift your scrolling adding positive vibes to your day.
