Colour all year around

Are there any perennials which are colourful all year? I'd like all year round colour in my garden ...

Designing with plants particularly with perennials opens up a wide pallete of colour for all seasons. I assume that you mean you are looking for a mix or perennials which provide seasonal interest oppoesed to one plant which will give that interest?

Primulas
Pulmonaria
Euphorbia
