PPG® RECOMMENDED COLORS

The collection of colors listed below are readily available at PPG® Paint stores and come from their SidingSafe® Color Technology palette or have an LRV above 55. When these colors are produced in an exterior 100% acrylic latex paint, they meet AZEK’s painting guidelines to help ensure the best overall product performance.


STEP 1: DETERMINE YOUR DESIRED COLOR CHOICE

Each color below lists the specific manufacturer color name, number and LRV rating. Be sure to use this exact information when selecting your final color choice.

STEP 2: DETERMINE THE RIGHT PAINT TYPE

AZEK recommends the use of the below exterior 100% acrylic latex paints from PPG:

  • PPG Acri-Shield® Max Exterior Acrylic Latex

STEP 3: VISIT PAINT MANUFACTURE STORE OR WEBSITE

Before making your final color choice we recommend you view an actual paint sample or color swatch which are available by visiting a local paint store or by ordering online.

If you want to use a PPG color not shown below, you must ensure it has an LRV of 55 or above, and it must be produced in an exterior 100% acrylic latex paint. If the color is not on this page and has an LRV below 55, it should not be used on AZEK products.

WARNING: DO NOT ADJUST OR CUSTOMIZE COLORS AT LOCAL PAINT STORES!

WARNING

Production of custom color formulations at local stores are not controlled. Formulation variability can affect the Light Reflective Value (LRV) of the paint leading to higher heat absorption that can cause excess movement and damage to AZEK product.

Recommended Color Lists

The below links showcase recommended colors per paint manufacturer to help you find the right color for your next project.



Custom Colors should only be used if they are made from a specialty paint with solar reflective pigments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can I only use certain Paints?

The paint color used on exterior building products is directly exposed to the sun. Light that is absorbed by the paint color converts to heat. When too much heat is absorbed, it can alter the actual physical building material in the form of warping, bowing and deformation. The correct selection of paint color will prevent this. The use of a color that does not meet AZEK paint color recommendations can lead to warping, buckling and excess movement. The use of a non-recommended color will.

What is the Light Reflective Value of a color?

All paint colors have a light reflective value (LRV) which is the measure of light reflected or alternatively absorbed. The LRV number represents the % of light reflected by that paint color. The higher the LRV number, the more light reflected. The lower the LRV number, the more light and heat absorbed. To help understand the scale, true white has a LRV rating of 100 and Black has LRV rating of 0.
