Glen-Gery reveals Brick Color of the Year

The blue-black brick reflects evolving design preference for natural, bolder shades in 2024.

Glen-Gery, one of North America’s oldest brick manufacturers and a Brickworks North American company, reveals its 2024 Brick Color of the Year, Blue Smooth Ironspot - a dark, extruded face brick that not only exudes a sense of boldness but also shimmers and reflects light.

In 2023, there was a prevalence of nature-inspired colour and design trends characterized by warm earth tones and textures. In 2024, a shift towards bolder colours is expected, especially deep blue tones that infuse spaces with warmth and comfort, while adding an elevated design aesthetic.

Blue Smooth Ironspot is part of the Sioux City Blues Series, a range of dark blue-black bricks that make any modern design a standout project. Varying weather and lighting brings out the inherent lustre and sheen in each individual brick
