Black Walnut named 2024 stain colour of the year

OLYMPIC Stains by PPG and PITTSBURGH PAINTS & STAINS products have named ‘Black Walnut’ as the 2024 stain colour of the year. Black Walnut exhibits historic design elegance and approachable warmth, allowing it to support contemporary exteriors with a timeless finish.


“There is a trend in wood finishes right now that leans into warmer midtones and ventures into darker shades,” says Ashley McCollum, PPG marketing manager and global colour expert, architectural coatings. “Black Walnut bridges the gap between those tones, exuding warmth without going into red hues. It’s a versatile shade that exudes elegance and welcomes guests with a warm embrace.”


Black Walnut can be applied to decks, siding, and other wood surfaces seamlessly across a wide range of architectural styles. Its versatility complements a variety of exterior architectural coating colours.
