As you know, black goes WITH everything and is AVAILABLE in almost everything! It’s no surprise that this color takes the number one spot on our list.

This beautiful silver color bead flies off the shelves. As one of the most pure silver colors on the market, it adds a beautiful sparkle to any design.

Aztec Gold has always been my personal favorite. It’s a trendy, subtle gold, not too yellow or bright and makes beautiful jewelry.

If you want a silver shade but don’t want the high shine of the crystal labrador full, aluminum silver should be your go-to color.

Bronze is another favorite of mine. The deep chocolate brown is beautiful and especially popular during the fall.

This color/mix on our list is possibly the most versatile. Ancient Gold contains various soft metallic shades that all blend well together. There are several Czech coatings that are a very similar blended coating, including Ancient Gold, Metallic Mix, & Purple Iris Gold.

The copper and vintage copper colors are gorgeous rust-like colors that are very on-trend right now.

This high-shine bead has a handful of shades.. From blue to green to yellow and sometimes a little bit if purple.

You can spot so many different colors in our crystal vitrail beads. You’ll notice pink, purple, yellow, gold, and more!

Last but certainly not least is this lovely color. If you’re looking for a red shade but don’t want the bright fire-engine look of an opaque red, try out the lava red.

Well there you have our top 10 most popular bead colors and not surprisingly, these colors tend to sell quickly! We arrived at these colors by comparing 30 of the most popular styles of beads, and ranking the colors of each across a 1-year period. Note, that this list does NOT include crystal colors, because crystals tend to have very different types of colors. The popularity for those also tends to be more in favor of transparent and AB (aurora borealis) styles. Look for an upcoming blog focused specifically on crystals :).
