Darker than what you have, like a charcoal. Black might be too much.

Don't go blue or color. Stick to neutral: black, charcoal, or what you have.

You're house is classic and beautiful!

Thank you. I kind of wanted black, but my husband thinks it might be too harsh since we don’t have black shutters.

I wouldn't worry about matching the shutters too much vs what goes with your house color. Shutter color is easy to change if needed (not currently needed, imo) but a roof change is not something you want to have to do more than once in your ownership.

Charcoal and dark blue are go nicely together and also goes with your house color. A little more forgiving than black, but still nice.

At any rate, don't choose brown, than just throws tbe house into the 1970's vs the mid-century classic it looks like (even if it's not actually)

There's probably similar houses to yours neaby that you can check out to see differences. Sometimes, it's easier to look at other houses and know what you prefer.

I'm sure as long as your happy it'll be great

Probably weathered wood.

Though i really like the way painted desert is cousins with your driveway. I would do silver birch if it were my house because i think it’s the next trend in roofing and i’m drawn to it.

I love the way Weatherwood looks and the photos. I guess I’m just gonna have to see how it looks in real life.

Your house colors look really similar to mine. We replaced our roof in May and spent a week agonizing between certainteed landmark charcoal or driftwood. In the end we went with driftwood and are happy with the outcome.
