You’re about to build the backyard of your dreams. The research is done. You've scoured the Internet, pinned your faves and peeked over fences; you decided on your project’s parameters and style. There's just one thing left: choosing the perfect paver color. The right color palette can have a dramatic effect on the look of your project, so it's important to make the right decision to avoid having to make costly changes down the road.
PAVER COLOR IS KEY. CHOOSE WISELY.
WE LIKE YOUR STYLE – COMPLEMENTARY COLORS
Look at your home. Your color palette should harmonize with your home by complementing its architectural style and exterior color. Another key aspect to consider is your landscaping. Keep in mind the change of seasons and the way the colors around your home project will change. Different times of day may cast shadows in different areas of your pavers. It’s important to plan how the environment affects your aesthetic.
Looking for inspiration on how to choose paver colors? Start with your surroundings. Whether you prefer bold, high-contrast patio colours or more subtle brick paver colors, your outdoor space should be a reflection of your unique taste. Our pavers colors are crafted to suit every home — from sleek modern builds to classic brick exteriors. No matter what paver color you prefer, you'll find it at Nicolock Paving Stones.
COLORS EXPRESS DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.
For a relaxing feel, natural grey tones are soothing and calming. How about something rustic? Reds, beiges or shades of brown may be your choice. Picking lighter colors will always make your space feel larger than it is and are a good choice to brighten up an area, while darker tones are great for full sun. Colors can bring out different emotions, so choose wisely when picking a paving stone color for your hardscape project.

HOW WILL THE SPACE BE USED?
If your pavers are around a pool, consider lighter colors that reflect light and are cool on bare feet. For a patio with an outdoor kitchen, a darker palette is a great choice. Barbecues can be messy! Get some inspiration from the Outdoor living section of our website.
TO STAND OUT, CHOOSE A BRILLIANT BORDER COLOR
Now, take your project to a higher level by including an accent or border color to add elegance. You can choose two shades of the same color or for a bolder effect, explore contrasting colors that complement one another.
COLORS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.
For rich, vibrant color – it’s Nicolock. At Nicolock, manufacturing rich vibrant colors is both art and science. Keeping our eye on innovative color trends and unique blends is all in a day’s work.
