How to Choose the Perfect Shingle Color for Your Home

1. Match Your Home’s Style and Color

Your roof should complement your siding, trim, and overall architectural style. For example:

• Earth tones go well with brick or stone exteriors.

• Grays and blacks complement modern or colonial homes.

• Lighter shingles can soften a bold or dark exterior.

Bring samples home and look at them in different lighting conditions—morning sun, afternoon light, and shade all affect how colors appear.

2. Consider Climate

Light-colored shingles reflect sunlight and help keep homes cooler in hot climates. Darker shingles absorb heat and can be ideal for colder areas by helping with snow melt.

3. Think Long-Term

Trendy colors may fade out of style, but classic shades like charcoal, slate, and weathered wood have lasting appeal. Your roof will be there for decades—choose something you’ll love for the long haul.

4. Check HOA Guidelines

If you live in a neighborhood with a Homeowners Association, verify any roofing color restrictions before you fall in love with a look.
