Onyx is a bold, beautiful color that lets the beauty of wood grain shine through

Why Onyx Is Our 2024 Color of the Year

Onyx is a beautiful, primary or complementary color with an inky hue and powerful presence. Onyx is available in a range of Sansin transparencies and exterior products, including SDF, Dec, and ENS. No matter the substrate used, Onyx performs boldly with every coat.

Onyx is a great example of Sansin’s unique ability to use color without sacrificing the beautiful wood grain

Even the deep charcoal color of Onyx doesn’t sacrifice what we all love most about building with wood – the character. Onyx highlights the wood grain while protecting the wood from UV and water damage.   

Complementary Colors

As a striking “neutral,” Onyx pairs well with nearly any other color in Sansin’s collection. Here are just a few of our favorites.
