LP Building Solutions unveils 2026 Color of the Year: Sand Dunes

Warm, versatile shade from the LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding collection earns top honor in the company’s inaugural Color of the Year program

LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, today revealed Sand Dunes as its 2026 Color of the Year, marking the company’s inaugural Color of the Year selection. One of the LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® colors, Sand Dunes is a warm, versatile neutral that complements a wide range of home styles and exteriors.

Inspired by the soft glow of sun-bleached sand, Sand Dunes blends seamlessly with brick, stone, wood and metal accents. Its understated tone provides an inviting background with year-round curb appeal — from fall gatherings and holiday celebrations to summer porch decor.

“Sand Dunes is a color you can count on,” said LP Director of Siding Innovation Sarah Caperton. “You can match it, layer it or use it as an accent. It’s a siding color that complements any architectural style.”

Available in both cedar and brushed smooth textures, Sand Dunes is part of LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim & Siding’s curated palette of 16 core colors. It also pairs beautifully with LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Naturals™ Collection hues, giving homeowners the flexibility to personalize their exteriors with confidence.

Sand Dunes delivers style without sacrifice combining timeless design with the trusted durability of LP® SmartSide® siding. Engineered for long-lasting performance, it is backed by LP’s industry-leading 5/15/50-year limited warranty for lasting beauty and protection for years to come.
