Upgrade your garage floor from dingy to classy with the perfect garage floor epoxy color.
8 Transformative Garage Floor Epoxy Colors
What Is Garage Floor Epoxy?
An epoxy floor is a simple but effective way to immediately enhance the appearance of your garage. It seals over the porous concrete surface, making it easier to clean up spills and prevent stains. But it’s also an opportunity to add a little personal flair to the space.
There are plenty of pros who can lay in an epoxy floor, but it also makes a great DIY project. For many homeowners, the hardest part is deciding what color to go with! Pure white shows far too much dirt and oil stains. All black feels oppressive to many people while making things like paint spills incredibly apparent.
Luckily, there’s an impressive range of options in the tinted color of the epoxy and the color/texture of additives such as vinyl flakes. I’ve collected a small sample of color suggestions, ranging from simple to niche.
While you may ultimately select a color that’s not on this list, the options shown here are a great jumping-off point.

Textured Beige
If black nor white is quite right, a beige can split the difference. But solid beige can look too much like an office cubicle from the ’90s.
A light to moderate scattering of colored vinyl flakes can break up that solid color and add some visual flair, as in this floor from AmorPoxy. Scattering flakes can also hide any unfortunate adhesive drips or paint spills.

Shades of Gray
For a cool, unadorned look, solid gray epoxy is a great option. It hides dirt and debris better than lighter colors. But unlike pure black, it won’t make your garage feel like a super-villain’s lair.
If you go with a solid gray with no texturing, the gloss finish of the epoxy can elevate it to look like a classy car showroom floor, like this one from GarageExperts.

Autumn Blend Flakes
This is my personal favorite epoxy garage floor color. Its mix of browns, from dark chocolate to light beige, give it depth, and the occasional white flakes bring flashes of brightness. The color variety hides spills and dirt well, and even the occasional splatter of paint blends right in.
Color Chips calls this mix “Autumn Blend,” but I’ve seen similar blends called “cappuccino” or “espresso” by other manufacturers.

Ocean-Inspired Blues
Particularly popular in warm climates, a blue floor can conjure feelings of beach bungalows and ocean breezes. It can also hide a variety of spills and stains.
Blue flake blends are typically reminiscent of the speckled finishes often found on swimming pools. A good example is “Clearwater Blend” from Color Chips, shown here. Untextured blue epoxies are most often solid blue or marbled, with different shades to give a sense of moving water.

Metallic Epoxy Garage Floor or Glitter!
Metallic pigments add a shimmer and shine to your epoxy garage floor. They bring added depth and create a dramatic, eye-catching appearance.
Glitter epoxy is similar. But instead of one or two metallic pigments, glitter brings enough sparkle to your garage that it will make it look like your other car is a unicorn.

Glow in the Dark
Yes, you read that right! You can opt for glow-in-the-dark epoxy. This is typically done with flake material, but can also be incorporated into the epoxy resin itself.
Keep in mind the glow will only last a few hours at most once you’re in the dark, so this isn’t an electricity-free night light for your garage. However, it’s definitely a great attention-getter, the kind of thing that will make you smile every time you kill the lights and see your floor glowing back at you.

Quartz-Textured Twilight Blend
Quartz-textured epoxy garage flooring uses colorful quartz particles embedded in the top coat of epoxy. As you might expect, quartz textured floors are rugged and durable. They’re a great choice if there’s high in-and-out traffic in your garage, or if you own heavier than average vehicles.
The Twilight quartz blend from Color Chips features a range of gray quartz as well as pure black and white. This provides a great combo of durability while camouflaging most splatters or spills.

Mica Chip Rum
Mica chip flooring combines the shimmer of metallic epoxy with the stone texture of quartz. I’m a particular fan of the Rum blend from Garage Experts. This mica texture gleams like gold without drifting into the extreme glossiness of a pure metallic epoxy. It’s a great way to brighten your garage or highlight your favorite vehicle.
