Yes, we do. If you are selecting benches for a sunny city, color has a bigger impact on comfort than most people expect. Dark colors absorb more solar radiation and can become painfully hot to sit on, while lighter, cooler colors reflect more sunlight and stay noticeably cooler throughout the day.
Our heat-reflective range for urban benches includes colors like Sandstone, Pearl White, Light Grey, Warm Beige, Pale Sage, and Soft Blue. These shades are not just aesthetic choices—they are formulated with outdoor durability in mind. Many of our finishes use solar-reflective pigments and UV-stable powder coating, which helps reduce heat build-up even when the bench is placed in direct sun.
We usually recommend colors with a high Light Reflectance Value, or LRV, because they bounce back more visible light. In practical terms, that means surfaces with an LRV above about 60 tend to feel cooler than darker alternatives. For urban settings, we often suggest textured light finishes rather than high-gloss ones. The texture helps soften glare while still delivering strong heat reflection, so the bench does not become an uncomfortable mirror in a plaza or streetscape.
If you prefer a slightly deeper tone for design reasons, we can still help. Some mid-tone colors in our lineup are made with special cool-roof-style coatings that reflect more infrared energy than standard pigments would. They will not be as cool as a near-white finish, but they perform better than traditional dark paints or coatings. We are happy to share temperature comparison data for specific colors if that would help your project team.
Practical maintenance is worth considering too. In dusty or high-traffic urban areas, very pale colors can show surface dirt more quickly. A light grey, sandstone, or soft sage tone often balances heat reflection with everyday appearance. Our coatings are also easy to clean with mild soap and water, so light colors remain manageable in public spaces.
If you want, we can send physical color chips or small coated samples so you can test them on site. Many clients place samples in direct sun and check surface temperature at midday. That simple test quickly shows why light, reflective colors are the better choice for sunny cities. We can also match a custom color if your project has branding or design requirements—just keep in mind that lighter and cooler shades will usually give you the best heat performance.
In short, yes, we offer several colors that reflect less heat for urban benches. For the coolest seating, go with light neutrals, soft pastels, or any of our solar-reflective finishes, and avoid dark saturated colors unless they are specially formulated for heat reduction.
