How to Choose a Roof Color?

1. Do Research

Anytime you’re making design decisions, the internet is your friend! Do your research online to learn more about roof and house color combinations. You can browse social media, online magazines, and gallery pages. Pinterest is a great option! You can even examine roofing colors in your neighborhood to get a better idea of roof colors around your home.

Technology can also be used to your benefit. Roof shingle color selectors are available, which take online photos of your home to color match. This can be a valuable resource for envisioning various colors on your roof. Try Colorview from our favorite shingle manufacturer, Certainteed.

3. Coordinate Roof and Siding 

It’s important to coordinate your roof with your siding colors. You’ll also want to consider color tones and how they work together. Generally, there are warm and cool tones, which then each have their own undertone. If you have a warm-toned roof, it should match with warm-toned siding.

Color will also determine how dramatic or subtle your roof looks. Are you looking for a bolder roof, or do you want a more neutral color? The more contrast a roof has, the more dramatic the look. This doesn’t necessarily mean bold colors are used, but that there’s a clear contrast between roof and siding colors. You’ll also need to pay attention to trims and accents. The best way to tackle this is by trying to implement balance. The roofing, siding, and trim should not all be the same color, but rather balance each other out. You can always consult with a professional about the best color choices.

Best Roof Color Design Ideas

White House with Dark Roof

If you have a white house, it’s always a great idea for your roof color to be dark. A black roof will contrast with white and look very classy. A charcoal gray roof is another popular choice for white houses. This is common for farmhouses, creating a classically neutral option.

Gray House with Gray Roof

It’s common for gray houses to be paired either with lighter or darker roof shingle colors. Homeowners choose the lighter or darker end of the scale depending on the overall impression they want to create for their home’s exterior.
