Deck: Cordovan Brown ST-104

From decks and porches to fences and siding, Cordovan Brown is a beautiful shade of exterior stain that gives a professional touch to any outdoor living space by enhancing curb appeal and home value. Plus, exterior wood stain is long-lasting and protects the wood from weather, moisture, and UV damage, ensuring your client’s exterior surfaces look polished for years to come.

Cordovan Brown’s dramatic and bold nature also pairs well with Behr’s 2023 Paint Color of the Year, Blank Canvas (DC-003), a welcoming and warm white with limitless possibilities to redefine and renew professional paint projects. Pairing darker wood tones like Cordovan Brown with soft natural paint colors creates contrast and compatibility for any style.
