BeautiTone, the number one Canadian-owned retail paint brand, revealed its 2025 Exterior Color of the Year: “Briarwood.”
“Briarwood” is a refined, muted brown, ideal for backyard spaces. This stain makes the perfect backdrop for any outdoor gathering, elevating the look and feel of wooden surfaces, enriching the natural character of decks and creating a welcoming environment for relaxation and entertaining.
“This year, Canadians are going back to their roots of natural, enhanced browns in their backyards,” said Kristen Gear, lead design and color specialist, BeautiTone Paint and Home Products. “As outdoor spaces continue to evolve into essential parts of the home, ‘Briarwood’ offers the perfect balance of style and durability, bringing a fresh and on-trend update to any exterior.”
BeautiTone’s 2025 Exterior Color of the Year is designed to enhance the beauty of wooden surfaces, bringing out their natural character while setting the stage for a warm and inviting space—perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. This year, the team at BeautiTone paired the color announcement with an original barbecue menu, crafted to help people elevate their summer gatherings. On the menu is a cedar-planked salmon, paired with a refreshing zero-proof cocktail that perfectly complements the flavors of the grill and elevates any outdoor gathering.
