Choosing the Right Flake Color for Your Garage Floor Coating
August 19, 2024

Your garage floor coating doesn’t just have to be tough—it can look amazing too. One of the biggest advantages of a flake system epoxy or polyaspartic floor is the range of custom flake color blends available. From modern monochromes to vibrant terrazzo-style patterns, there’s a perfect look for every space.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy, we offer dozens of color options and help homeowners across DFW choose the right flake system for their garage, shop, or showroom. In this blog, we’ll walk through what flake floors are, why color matters, and which blends are most popular right now.

What Are Flake Floor Coatings?

Flake floors—also called decorative flake or chip systems—combine:

  • A base coat (epoxy or polyaspartic)
  • A broadcasted layer of vinyl chips
  • A clear polyaspartic topcoat

This creates a textured, multicolored finish that mimics granite, terrazzo, or quartz—but with the durability and slip resistance of high-performance coatings.

Why Flake Color Matters

The color you choose impacts more than just aesthetics. It affects:

  • How clean your space looks over time
  • How much light the garage reflects
  • The overall style or curb appeal

A smart flake color can hide tire marks, oil stains, and dust, while the wrong color may highlight every imperfection.

Popular Garage Floor Flake Color Options

Here are some of the most in-demand flake blends DFW homeowners love:

1. Domino (Black/White/Gray Blend)

Sleek and neutral, this is a timeless choice. It hides dirt well and complements most garage interiors.

2. Nightfall (Charcoal with Specks of Blue and White)

Modern and bold—great for darker cabinets or industrial-themed garages.

3. Saddle Tan (Beige, Brown, and Cream Tones)

A warmer option that adds earthiness. Perfect for garages that double as hobby spaces or man caves.

4. Gravel or Stonehenge (Gray-based Neutrals)

Great for minimalist or contemporary homes with cool-toned exteriors.

5. Custom Flake Colors

Want your favorite team’s colors? Need to match your car? We can create custom blends for a one-of-a-kind look.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Flake Color

  1. Lighting in Your Garage
    Darker flakes may make a space feel smaller if there’s no natural light. Lighter flakes reflect light better.
  2. Usage Type
    Will your garage be used as a workshop, gym, or classic car display? Choose a color that fits the vibe.
  3. Color of Walls and Cabinets
    Neutral flakes go with everything, but bold flakes can contrast beautifully with black or stainless cabinetry.
  4. Camouflage Power
    Mixed flake patterns hide debris better than solid colors. Ideal for homes with pets, kids, or high traffic.
