EXTERIOR DESIGN
This year, Royal Building Products has named Slatescape, a mid-tone, blue-gray, as its Exterior Color Trend of the Year. Evoking the hue of a storm-churned wave, Slatescape is a fresh take on the prominence of gray in current exterior color trends. This versatile shade works equally well with other soft neutrals, as it does with brighter punchier colors. The Slatescape tone has inspired colors which are available across several brands in the Royal Building Products’ portfolio of siding products, including Royal Vinyl Siding (Storm), Exterior Portfolio (Oceanside) and Celect Cellular Composite Siding (Coastline).
