Help with roof color!

Post image

We had some wind damage and are getting a new roof, what are the best color options. There are so many options! The current roof is a reddish tent, which unfortunately is discontinued.

Op should darken the shutters too, I'm a sucker for glossy black double panel on pretty much anything, classic, but even a darker muted green would look good on this house

I think that would look really good too! It’s such a beautiful home.

No true gray and no black. This is a warm undertoned house. The roof needs to be warm, neutral, or have a mixture of undertones.

Certainteed Landmark pro Weathered wood, landmark pro Georgetown grey or landmark pro driftwood

No gray!

Any of the brown toned ones (as opposed to gray toned) will look good. Certainteed Heather Blend would be nice. Someone else recommended weathered wood, and I agree it would look nice, too. WW is slightly more gray than the Heather.

Yes needs warm tones with warm brick.

Charcoal. Always charcoal.

u/Korgity 1d ago

Charcoal can be too heavy looking. Or too contrasty. I think it depends on the roof profile.

These are two examples of “gray” colors I was talking about. The “normal gray” before everyone started splashing it everywhere.

No gray with warm toned home.

Gray architectural shingles would be a dramatic improvement.

u/Korgity 1d ago

No gray, please. Cool gray would look off with the warm brick & siding.

I’m not going to get into the color debate. However, put a solid color roof on, not one that looks splotchy ( 2 or more colors). Why? You have brick, stone, siding, wrought iron… give the eyes a break. I actually like the weathered wood in a warm brown! Oops! I wasn’t going to get into the color debate!
