You’ve decided to create the paver patio of your dreams! The location is usually the first thought, followed by patio colors. Whether you have decided on a cozy extension of your home for an intimate gathering or a sprawling design wrapping around your pool with a fire pit, walkways, and sitting walls, color plays an important role.
Paving stones and wall systems offer a wide range of colors, allowing you to customize your outdoor space to your taste. The selection is curated from vibrant shades to warm earth tones to suit any aesthetic preference.

How To Choose My Patio Colors
With all the paver patio colors available, it can be confusing to know which to choose for your outdoor project. While it’s nice to have a coordinating palette with colors that match each other, it’s important to consider several other factors when choosing your paver colors.
Surrounding Elements
It is instinctual to want to match pavers to the style and palette of your home. This joining of the patio and home can be accomplished without choosing the exact same colors but ones that complement each other. A white or gray home will pair nicely with stones in the gray, white, and black family. Alternatively, a brown-tinted home works well with reds and other variations of creams. Additionally, consider the surrounding elements in your landscape, such as plants, trees, or natural stones. From there, we’ll help you choose paver colors that balance these features.
Creating Purpose with Patio Colors
While it can be easy to get caught up in the strictly visual reason behind each paver color, consider their function as well. Lighter colors, such as white and gray, are better suited for pool decks as they absorb less heat from the sun. Not only are they less hot, but they’re also more comfortable to walk on barefoot. However, darker patio colors are better for high-traffic driveways or outdoor kitchens, where spills and stains are more likely to occur.
Color For Function
Use colored pavers to define different areas of your patio or yard. Creating pathways and varying colors allows you to direct movement and delineate the edges of pools, steps, and patios. Darker hue pavers should be used for borders to create a banding that effectively defines spaces.
