Glen-Gery Announces 2025 Brick Color of the Year

Glen-Gery Corporation unveiled its 2025 Brick Color of the Year, Silver City—a multifaceted, monotone, matte grey engobe brick that pulls in design cues from its natural surroundings.

“We envision Silver City as the backdrop to today’s constantly evolving design trends; it’s a highly versatile color with the ability to complement and blend with a wide range of hues, textures and materials. Its understated elegance and neutral, transitional tones can adapt seamlessly to different architectural styles, ensuring longevity in design choices and appealing to diverse tastes,” said Denise Smith, senior marketing manager for Glen-Gery. “We also foresee grey brick becoming increasingly prevalent in biophilic design for its ability to mimic natural elements while maintaining this timeless aesthetic. For these reasons, it remains a popular choice in modern architecture.”

Available in both wirecut and smooth finishes, Silver City is part of Glen-Gery's Emporium+ line—a collection of lightly coated facebrick offering premium colors and a unique finish that reflects natural light, imbuing surroundings with brightness and dimension. The rough, organic texture of Silver City Wirecut evokes authentic character and dynamism to make facades more tactile and engaging. Silver City Smooth’s contemporary polish makes it ideal for modern architectural styles. Its sleek texture easily blends with a host of design elements, from traditional to avant-garde.

Since 2023, Glen-Gery’s annual Brick Color of the Year selection aims to help designers and homeowners achieve modern designs by incorporating anticipated color trends into their projects. Ideal for both interior and exterior applications, brick remains a popular building product due to its unique ability to balance form with function and modernity with classic appeal. Adaptable, sustainable and highly durable, brick’s versatile character and extensive benefits make it a top choice for a variety of architectural and design projects.
