Meet Turquoise 25: The 2025 Bullet Journal Color of the Year

There’s something magical about opening a brand-new notebook. The crisp pages, the blank space full of possibility, it’s like the start of a new chapter in your life. This year, that feeling gets a fresh splash of color. Turquoise 25 has officially arrived as the 2025 limited-edition shade for the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal line. Launched on Bullet Journal Day (August 8), this vibrant yet soothing tone is designed to spark ideas, inspire new goals, and give your planning ritual a little more joy. Whether you’re picking up your very first BuJo or adding to a treasured collection, Turquoise 25 feels like the perfect companion for a year of mindful organization and creativity. 

A Shade Worth Noting

Every year, the Bullet Journal community chooses a new color to capture the mood of the moment. For 2025, Turquoise 25 was chosen for its balance of refreshment, creativity, and clarity. It’s the color of calm seas meeting a bright horizon, soothing enough to keep you grounded, energizing enough to push you forward. And with this year’s guiding theme “Transform the way you work, think, feel and live!”, the message is clear: your journal can be more than a planner; it can be a life-shaping tool. 

Inside the Lines

At the heart of this release is the Bullet Journal Edition 2 notebook, an A5 hardcover in that gorgeous Turquoise 25 shade. Inside, you’ll find 206 numbered pages of smooth 120 gsm paper that makes writing a joy and keeps ink from bleeding through. There are thoughtful touches everywhere: three ribbon markers for easy navigation, a grid guide for perfectly aligned spreads, a detachable pocket-sized BuJo guide, and stickers to help label your pages with days, months, and index entries. It’s the kind of notebook that quietly supports you while letting your ideas take center stage. 

The Pen is Mightier (When it Matches)

Journaling is a little more satisfying when your tools feel good in your hand and look like they belong together. The matching Drehgriffel Nr. 1 pen in Turquoise 25 glides smoothly across the page, with a twist mechanism that’s as elegant as it is practical. Add the coordinating elastic pen loop, and you’ve got a setup that’s always ready when inspiration strikes. For those who like everything in one place, the Turquoise 25 gift box set wraps the notebook, pen, and loop into a beautifully packaged keepsake. 

Dot, Grid, and Beyond

The beauty of a Bullet Journal lies in its flexibility. With Turquoise 25, you can turn your pages into anything you need: a structured planner, a freeform journal, a sketchbook, or some creative mix of all three. The BuJo method — index, future log, monthly log, daily log — gives you a foundation, but the rest is entirely yours to shape. And when the canvas is this beautiful, it’s easier to show up for your practice.

Draw Outside the Boxes

Unlike traditional planners with fixed layouts, a Bullet Journal grows with you. Your spreads can change from month to month, even week to week, depending on what’s working. The Leuchtturm1917 Edition 2 was developed with Ryder Carroll, BuJo’s creator, so every detail supports that kind of fluid, intuitive planning. It’s a tool that adapts to your life, not the other way around. 

In the Margins of Life

If you’ve been journaling for a while, you know it’s not just about lists and trackers. It’s about clearing mental clutter, noticing patterns, and carving out a little time each day to reflect. Turquoise 25 adds a gentle lift to that process, a visual reminder to slow down, breathe, and focus on what matters most. 

From To-Do to Ta-Da

Bullet journaling may start as a productivity hack, but it often becomes a source of calm and creativity. Capturing your thoughts on paper frees up space in your head. Designing your own layouts makes planning feel like art. And over time, those pages tell the story of your progress — the small wins, the big shifts, the moments you didn’t want to forget.

The Final Page

Turquoise 25 isn’t just a color, it’s an invitation. An invitation to approach your days with clarity, to let your ideas flow freely, and to create a system that truly fits your life. Whether you’re brand-new to bullet journaling or have filled a shelf with past notebooks, this edition is ready to meet you where you are. Because sometimes, the simplest tools — a pen, a notebook, a moment to think — are the ones that transform everything.
