Wood stains have the power to transform ordinary surfaces into timeless expressions of personal style. To elevate the aesthetic of your outdoor space this spring, BEHR® has announced its 2024 Exterior Stain Colour of the Year, Tugboat – a brownish grey wood stain reminiscent of weathered materials from boats at sea and ready to make your home the ultimate safe harbour.

The sophisticated blend of muted toned adds subtle colour to exterior surfaces while enhancing the natural wood grain for a timeless finish. The versatility of Tugboat adds organic beauty and effortless character with a nautical twist to elevate your outdoor environment.
