They say history repeats itself, but at this year’s Kolor Paaty, it came with a hilarious twist, a little irony, and a whole lot of orange!

For years, one colour had reigned supreme at Ghana’s most vibrant family fiesta – white.

The Entertainment team, led by the ever-energetic radio icons, had turned that colour into a symbol of fun, music, and magical memories at the decade-old family event.

Kobby Stonne, the ever-charismatic and outspoken leader of the “sports boys’ camp,” had had enough of the white monopoly.

“White is too easy!” he argued passionately, rallying a chorus of support from fans who felt it was time to shift the paradigm.

The organisers listened. For the first time in Kolor Paaty history, colours would be decided by ballot.

A fair and thrilling twist! The day came, the transparent box was brought out, and as fate, and maybe a bit of cosmic humour, would have it — Kobby Stonne drew white.

He, along with his friends within the sports unit, was jubilant upon drawing white at the ballots.

Cue laughter. Cue disbelief. Cue poetic justice!

Meanwhile, Jerry Justice and his Entertainment team landed on the colour orange – bright, bold, and bursting with energy.

What followed was a friendly but fierce campaign: both camps rallying fans, flooding social media with their chosen hues, and promising to “own the garden” come party day.

And oh, what a sight it was when the day finally arrived!

Legon Botanical Gardens was a sea of colour, rhythm, and radiant smiles. But as the music soared and the dance-offs began, one colour seemed to blaze brighter than the rest – orange.

Neither Tima Kumkum nor Afia Amankwaa’s millions of social media following was enough to outshine the orange colour with their chosen ‘red’.

From T-shirts to tutus, face paint to festival flags, the orange army turned up in record numbers. It was official: the Entertainment team had done it again!

Even Kobby Stonne, decked out in crisp white, couldn’t help but laugh at the irony. Next year, maybe he may just pick orange from the start!

Kolor Paaty 2025 will be remembered not just for its music, laughter, and family fun, but for the year the protester became the punchline, and orange proved that no matter the colour, it’s the energy that wins the day.

Because at Kolor Paaty, one truth stands tall: it’s not just about the colour you wear, it’s about the love and joy you bring.
