Instagram's top 15 paint colours have been revealed, with property advice website homehow.co.uk analysing paint colour hashtags to uncover the most popular by delving into hashtag quantities.

While an array of colours — from calming shades of blue to dusty pinks and deep greens — made the cut, it was Paris Grey from Zoffany Paints that took out the top spot.

While the analysis was carried out by a UK site, they're the same trends that we're seeing make their way into Aussie homes too.

Paris Grey by Zoffany took top spot, but it's worth noting that the colour is often used in reference to painting furniture, as well as walls, which could account for a portion of the hashtags popularity.

This deep green will certainly make a statement in any home. Similar to Green Smoke, Bancha works well when paired with white, but the bold colour will also compliment darker wooden tones.

7. Hale Navy | Benjamin Moore

Deep, dark and powerful, using Hale Navy on an entire room may be a little overbearing. On a feature wall, however, can make your wall the perfect point of interest. Navy is also a colour that pairs well with multiple tones, meaning the wall won't limit your styling choices.
