Loading your court…

Picking a color scheme that works in Florida

Colors that look sharp on a screen in January behave differently on a slab in July. Three things decide whether you still like your court in two years.

Surface heat

A dark court absorbs and holds heat, and by mid-afternoon in July that decides whether anyone plays. On west- and south-facing courts we usually specify Laykold Chill, whose heat-reflective pigments pull real degrees off the surface. Lighter surrounds help too.

Glare and ball contrast

Florida light is harsh and low in the early evening when most people play. A darker in-bounds area with a lighter surround gives the ball contrast and cuts glare. Very pale playing surfaces look clean in a rendering and wash out in real sun.

What it sits next to

A court beside a screened lanai and a pool is part of that view year-round. Greens and greys tend to disappear into landscaping; championship blues read as deliberate. Bring us a photo of your pool deck and we will tell you what will fight with it.

Colors on screen are approximations — they shift with your monitor, the coating texture, and manufacturer batch variation. Ask us for a physical sample before you sign and we will get you one.
