Outdoor Furniture Color Guide — 15 Poly Lumber Colors

Find Your Perfect Color

15 UV-stabilized poly lumber colors — from classic coastal whites to bold statement hues. Every color is fade-resistant and integrated throughout the material.


How Our Colors Work

Unlike painted wood or coated metal, Carolina Casual colors are pigmented throughout the entire material. UV-stabilized color is integrated during the poly lumber manufacturing process, meaning:

  • No surface paint to peel or chip
  • No stain to wear away over time
  • UV-stabilization resists fading even in direct coastal sun
  • Scratches don’t reveal a different color underneath — it’s the same all the way through
  • Colors remain vibrant for decades of outdoor exposure

The 15 Colors

1. White — The Classic Coastal

Bright, clean, and timeless — White is the quintessential coastal furniture color. It brightens any outdoor space and pairs beautifully with every home exterior.

  • Best For: Coastal homes, beach houses, white-picket-fence aesthetics, bright modern spaces

  • Styling Tip: White furniture against a dark deck creates a stunning high-contrast look. Add navy or turquoise cushions for classic coastal style.
