Overview of Rhino Shield's Color Selection Process for Homeowners
Choosing the right color for your home’s exterior is a big decision. At Rhino Shield, we’ve designed a color selection process that ensures homeowners find the perfect shade while maximizing the performance of our ceramic coatings. From understanding Light Reflectivity Value (LRV) to leveraging cutting-edge Nix Color Matching Technology, we make color selection easy, accurate, and stress-free.

Light Reflectivity Value
When it comes to protecting your home’s exterior, the choice between Rhino Shield and regular paint goes beyond preference—it’s about performance. Regular paint, which is 60% water, along with plasticizers, pigments, and fillers, offers minimal protection against the elements. In contrast, Rhino Shield is an acrylic urethane elastomeric coating with a more protective formulation, including resins, urethane, pigments, and ceramic microspheres for added durability.
- High LRV Colors (50% and above): These lighter shades reflect sunlight, helping to keep your home cooler and reducing energy bills. They are ideal for homes in hot, sunny climates like California.
- Low LRV Colors (Below 50%): Darker shades create a more dramatic appearance but may cause surfaces to heat up faster, increasing cooling costs.
Our Rhino Shield experts help balance aesthetics and functionality by considering LRV when guiding color choices, ensuring beauty and energy savings go hand in hand.
Color Selection
Unlimited Possibilities
Rhino Shield’s ceramic coatings can be tinted to virtually any color using high-grade paint tints from trusted brands like Vista Paint®. We even cover the cost of up to three (3) free color samples to help you choose the perfect match.
Our selection process focuses on:
- Personal Style: We work with homeowners to choose shades that match their home’s architecture and personal preferences.
- Neighborhood Guidelines: We ensure selected colors comply with HOA or local regulations.
- Long-Term Appeal: Since Rhino Shield coatings last for decades, we recommend timeless, classic colors that won’t go out of style.
