LP Building Solutions (LP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance building products, 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.
