Choosing the Right Coloured School Lockers for Your School
When selecting school metal lockers, colour is an important consideration. The right coloured school lockers can brighten corridors, complement school uniforms, or tie in with your school logo. Choosing lockers with the right colours creates a welcoming environment and helps pupils feel proud of their space.
At 3D Lockers, we make it easy to select the best lockers for schools. Follow our step-by-step guide to explore school metal locker colour options and find the perfect fit.
Step 1 – Mix & Match Locker Door Colours
You don’t have to stick to a single colour. Many schools use two or three shades to create patterns, chequerboards, or vibrant colour blocks. There is no extra cost for multiple colours. We can also provide a free mock-up layout to preview before ordering. Mixing colours helps corridors and classrooms feel fun and inviting.
Step 2 – Understanding RAL Numbers
Each powder-coated paint colour has a reference, usually RAL or BS.
Use RAL numbers to match school metal lockers with existing furniture or décor
Ask us for exact RAL references for all locker colours

Blue – Trust, confidence, calm, positivity
Green – Nature, relaxation, health
Red – Strength, leadership, courage
Yellow – Cheerfulness, optimism, energy
Purple – Wisdom, ambition, success
