Key takeaways
- Mid-tones hide dirt best; very dark and very light show it.
- Match warm or cool tones to your exterior.
- Full flake hides the most imperfections.
- Check samples in your own garage light.
Start with the light
Garage lighting and door position change how colors read. Light blends brighten a dim garage; dark blends feel dramatic but show dust and footprints. Mid-tones in gray and tan are the most forgiving.
Warm or cool
Cool blends (grays, blues, whites) feel clean and modern. Warm blends (tan, brown, copper) feel inviting and pair well with brick and stone. Look at your exterior trim and garage door and choose a blend that complements them.
How much flake
Full flake hides the most: cracks, repairs and stains disappear in the pattern. Partial flake keeps the base color visible and looks crisper. The Floor Designer lets you compare coverage instantly.
Test before you decide
Screens vary, so ask for sample boards and look at them in your garage at different times of day. The Floor Designer and the color library are a great starting point.
