Ten Palette Directions
1. Liquid Copper
Deep bronze base with copper highlights — dramatic against black cars and stainless tool chests.
2. Black Pearl
Near-black with subtle silver shimmer. Reads as luxury showroom rather than garage.
3. Midnight Aurora
Deep navy with electric blue and teal movement. Unexpected and modern.
4. Aged Bronze
Warm patina effect — perfect for craftsman and vintage-styled spaces.
5. Titanium Mist
Cool silver-gray that brightens dim spaces without showing dust like white.
6. Volcanic
Charcoal base with rust-orange and amber veining. Bold, industrial.
7. Galaxy
Deep purple with silver and gold flecks — surprisingly popular for home theaters and finished basements.
8. Sand Dune
Warm tan with cream movement — pairs beautifully with light wood cabinetry.
9. Forest Floor
Deep green base with brown and gold accents. Unexpected in a garage; perfect for wine cellars.
10. Pewter
Muted gunmetal with soft white highlights. The safe-but-elegant choice.
Picking the Right Palette
Metallic colors look very different in person than in photos. The pigments are reflective, so lighting changes everything. We always recommend viewing physical sample boards in your actual garage, ideally at the time of day you'll use the space most.
Patterns vs Pure Swirl
Within metallic, there are two install techniques: pure swirl (random, organic movement) and controlled patterns (lightning strikes, river effects, defined movement). Pure swirl is timeless. Pattern work is striking but more polarizing — make sure you love it before committing.
