Choosing a new polyaspartic or polyurea floor coating is exciting—especially when you realize just how many color options are available. But with so many choices, how do you pick the one that will look great for years and work well for your space?
If you live in Greater Houston, Texas, you have a few extra factors to consider—like heat, sunlight, and how the floor will be used. In this guide, we’ll break down the key things to think about before picking your floor color, plus share some of the most popular choices among homeowners and business owners in Katy, Sugar Land, Richmond, Bellaire, Pearland, and beyond.
1. Consider the Purpose of the Space
Garage
If your garage is a working space, neutral mid-tone blends like granite gray, tan, or speckled beige hide dirt and tire marks while still looking sharp. If you want a showroom look for your cars, high-contrast blends with black, white, and metallic flakes stand out beautifully.
Patio or Outdoor Living Area
Choose lighter colors that reflect heat and stay cooler underfoot—especially important in Houston summers. Sandy beige, soft gray, or light stone blends are popular choices.
Shop or Workshop
Medium-to-dark blends do best here since they hide dust, sawdust, and oil spots. Earthy browns and charcoal tones are great for high-traffic workspaces.
2. Match or Complement Your Surroundings
Look at your walls, trim, and even your vehicles or furniture. A coating color that blends seamlessly with your existing style creates a cohesive, polished look.
- Modern homes — Cool grays, silvers, and blacks
- Traditional homes — Warm beige, brown, or tan blends
- Coastal or bright spaces — Light grays, whites, and blue accents
3. Think About Maintenance and Appearance Over Time
Darker colors can show dust, lighter colors can show mud—so think about what your space sees most often. For example:
- Katy homeowners with frequent dust from nearby construction often prefer mid-tone blends.
- Pearland residents with kids or pets love multi-flake blends that disguise everyday mess.
4. Factor in Houston’s Sun and Heat
Houston’s UV levels are intense. Fortunately, polyaspartic coatings are UV-stable, meaning they won’t yellow or fade, but lighter colors can still help keep surfaces cooler—especially on patios and pool decks.
