How to Choose a Shingle Color

Your roof is a major part of your home’s appearance, so you want to be happy with the look of your new roof.

Whether you’re putting a photo of your house on a holiday card, driving up every day, or welcoming guests, you want a roof you’re proud of. And when it comes time to sell, curb appeal matters-an attractive, well-kept roof can make a big difference.

Tips for Choosing Shingle Colors

• White exteriors
  With white siding or clapboard, any roofing color works. Focus on your personal taste, your home’s style, and accent colors such as shutters or the front door.
• Light grey exteriors
  These are also versatile. Blue, black, grey, or green shingles all look great.
• Black, grey, and green shingles
  These options complement most homes, including those with light-colored siding, grey, red, or even log exteriors.
• Brown roofs
  A brown roof pairs well with red, white, or beige exteriors, as well as log homes.
• Patterned exteriors
  If your home has multi-colored brick or stone veneer, monotone shingles are often the best choice for balance.

Other Factors to Consider

• Neighborhood
  Look at the homes nearby and the natural surroundings. You can either harmonize with the neighborhood or stand out with a bold choice.
• Region and Climate
  Lighter shingles in warm southern areas can help reflect heat and keep your home cooler. Darker shingles may retain warmth in colder climates. If there are environmental codes in your area, a Cephalo Roofing specialist can help you choose compliant, attractive colors.
• Style Preferences
  Your personal taste and the architectural style of your home-whether contemporary, rustic, or classic-should guide your decision.
