Color Combinations for 2021

Posted 9 December 2020 5:37 PM by Jase DeBoer

Composite decking choices continue to grow as manufacturers add color choices, features and longevity.

New for 2021, we have launched a whole new line of decking – Deckorators® Trailhead, with three color choices, and introduced two new colors to our Vista decking line:

  • Trailhead Ridgeline
  • Trailhead Pathway
  • Trailhead Canyon
  • Vista Silverwood
  • Vista Dunewood

Our newest line of decking: Trailhead, in Pathway, Ridgeline and Canyon. Our Vista line features four popular colors: Silverwood, Driftwood, Ironwood and Dunewood.

Picture Frame Borders for a Flair

In addition to color, another big trend we’re seeing is adding a single or double picture frame board. Our mineral-based composite (MBC) Picture Frame Board in Dark Slate is always a go-to option, as it pairs well with any decking color. If you are looking for a more unique combo, mixing grey tones with brown can be a stylish option to add a distinctive flair to your outdoor space.

Mixing both cool and warm tones of decking can create an interesting picture frame border on your deck.

Color Pairings for Your Home

Each of the new deck colors pairs well with many styles of home exteriors. Homes with a reddish-brown brick exterior or even neutral-colored siding pair well with both Trailhead Decking in Pathway or Canyon.

Both neutral and cooler-toned homes pair well with our Vista Decking in Silverwood. Add our ALX Contemporary Railing in White to complete the contemporary look.

However, don’t be afraid to pair warmer-tone decking with your neutral or cool-tone exterior. Our Vista Decking in Dunewood pairs well with many exterior colors, as well as our ALX Contemporary Cable Railing in Black.
