PPG Paints

We use PPG Paints on projects where exterior durability and coverage performance matter most. PPG Diamond and their Timeless line provide the kind of film strength and colour retention that holds up through the toughest Canadian winters.

Why We Use PPG Paints

We use PPG Paints because their formulation science is world-class — PPG is one of the largest coatings manufacturers on the planet, and that research investment shows up directly in product performance. The PPG Diamond interior line is a self-priming, high-hide formula that covers beautifully in two coats even over dark or heavily patched surfaces. The finish cures hard and remains cleanable without burnishing, making it a strong choice for family-oriented residential interiors where walls take daily punishment. We recommend PPG Diamond for clients prioritizing hide power and value in a premium coating.

For exterior applications, PPG's Timeless line is one of the standout performers in Canadian climates. Its advanced acrylic formulation provides outstanding resistance to UV fading, moisture penetration, and the extreme thermal cycling that Ontario homes experience between January and August. The Timeless line is particularly effective on wood siding, stucco, and fibre cement — surfaces that require a coating with genuine flexibility and adhesion strength. We have seen PPG exterior products maintain colour and film integrity significantly longer than mid-grade alternatives on comparable projects.

PPG also provides an excellent range of primers and specialty coatings that complement our full project workflow. Their water-based alkyd primers bond exceptionally to problematic surfaces like chalk-painted walls, slick or previously glossy trim, and bare wood — surfaces where proper priming is the difference between a paint job that lasts a decade and one that starts peeling in two years. PPG's commitment to sustainability is reflected in their expanding range of low-VOC and zero-VOC formulas, which we use in occupied homes and commercial spaces where indoor air quality is a priority.

Why PPG Paints Stands Out

  • PPG Diamond delivers strong hide and durability for family residential interiors
  • Timeless exterior line is engineered for extreme Canadian freeze-thaw cycles
  • World-class coatings research translated into genuine on-site performance
  • Specialty primers solve adhesion challenges on difficult substrates
  • Growing low-VOC and zero-VOC range for indoor air quality-sensitive projects

Colour guide

PPG colours we are specifying in 2026

The 2026 palette first, then the whites, neutrals, greys and colours we are asked for most. Every swatch below is a screen approximation — PPG does not publish screen values, and every colour shifts with the light in the room. We bring physical chips and sample pots to the estimate so you see the real thing on your own wall.

Whites

PPG whites tend to sit clean and neutral, which makes them easy trim partners for the greens and browns in this year’s palette. We sample two on the wall before committing a whole home to one.

  • Delicate White

    PPG1001-1

    The most-specified PPG white. Clean without being cold; walls, trim and ceilings together.

  • Gypsum

    PPG1006-1

    A soft white with a faint grey base. Contemporary interiors and rooms with a lot of glass.

  • Commercial White

    PPG1025-1

    A neutral, slightly cool white. Ceilings, and the standard spec on commercial and builder work.

  • Blank Canvas

    PPG1085-1

    A warm, creamy white. Older homes with stained wood and brass hardware.

Warm neutrals & sands

The earthy neutrals that replaced flat grey on most main floors. All of them carry enough warmth to sit well with oak floors and stone, and none read as a colour from across the room.

  • Sandy Beach

    PPG1072-2

    A light warm sand. The safe whole-home neutral when a client cannot decide.

  • Dusty Trail

    PPG1097-4

    A muted mid-tone tan. Halls, stairwells and exteriors beside brick.

  • Welcome Home

    PPG1092-5

    A warm, pastoral tan. Family rooms and mudrooms.

  • Toffee Crunch

    PPG1207-4

    A warm caramel brown. An accent wall, or exterior trim on a stone house.

  • Stony Creek

    PPG1097-5

    A deeper earth tone. Exterior body colour with Delicate White trim.

  • Garlic Clove

    PPG18-09

    A dark, earthy brown. Front doors, islands and a single dining-room wall.

Monochromatics — greys, charcoals and black

From the lightest grey with any body down to straight black. Grey has moved off most walls, but it is still the workhorse for exteriors, doors, islands and window frames.

  • Ghost Writer

    PPG1007-3

    A soft stone grey. The grey to use if a client still wants grey walls.

  • Silver Screen

    PPG1014-3

    A cool, light grey. Bathrooms and contemporary condos.

  • Moth Gray

    PPG1024-4

    A soft neutral mid-grey. Dining rooms and offices.

  • Sharkskin

    PPG1025-4

    A cool mid-grey. Lower kitchen cabinets and exterior body colour.

  • Stone Gray

    PPG1023-5

    A deep mineral grey. Exterior siding, and islands against white perimeter cabinets.

  • Charcoal Smoke

    PPG1033-7

    A grounding charcoal. Front doors and feature walls.

  • Mostly Metal

    PPG1036-7

    A softened black with a metallic cast. Window frames and interior doors.

  • Black Magic

    PPG1001-7

    PPG's straight black. Modern-farmhouse windows and exterior trim.

Colours

The blues, greens and reds we are asked for most. Most of these behave like neutrals in a room — deep enough to anchor cabinetry or a study without shouting.

  • Starless Sky

    PPG0995-7

    The navy. Front doors, islands and studies; it sits in a room as a neutral.

  • Aqua Smoke

    PPG1034-5

    A soft blue-grey. Bathrooms and bedrooms.

  • Walden Pond

    PPG1159-4

    A water-inspired soft green. Nurseries and north-facing rooms.

  • Mallard Green

    PPG1132-6

    A rich green. Kitchen cabinets and mudroom built-ins.

  • Deep Emerald

    PPG1148-7

    A jewel green. Colour-drenched dining rooms and libraries.

  • Purple Basil

    PPG1046-7

    Colour of the Year 2025. A deep plum for powder rooms and studies.

  • Copper Beech

    PPG1067-5

    A warm copper-brown. Accent walls and dining rooms with brass.

  • Warm Mahogany

    PPG1060-7

    A rich, grounded red. Front doors and one-wall statements.

Not sure which one?

Colour consultation is part of every Sigma estimate. We look at your floors, light, fixed finishes and the rooms next door, narrow it to two or three, and paint sample boards you can move around the house before a single wall is done.
