Need help choosing what color Architectural Roof Shingle?
Comments (6)I must apply joint compound to two rooms and hate to start the job so I am reading the forums. Roof colors are not available in all 48 states but based on the plant location. Since I live in the North East I had to choose what was available in my zip code. My NJ home was a pink brick with black shudders and white soffits and trim. The sides had grey clapboard. A light grey architectural tile would have worked but instead I did a green with dark grey and pink in the tile. I moved recently and had to paint the outside . The exterior color was a dark tan with a brown architectural roof asphalt tile. The tile had hints of a cream/ yellow so I painted the house a muted yellow brown . It was a cabot color that looked tan but dried as a pale yellow.I Love it!! The roof and home color match. Choose what you like or what you think will work and then ask the dealer for home addresses who installed this tile. Visit the home and see what color the base of the home was why it worked or why it didn't. I also had the roofer lay three sheets of the tile on the home so I saw a better idea of the color. My choices were a three shades of grey or the grey green pink tile. The grey green/pink tile was the winner. Green does work well with brick but not as a single color....See MoreHelp!

Comments (11)I know what you mean, we do like the color that is on it now, but would like something a little different to look at.....it sure is hard to choose....in the brown family there are so many! We found an aged redwood color we kinda like will have to see what it looks like on an actual shingle to know for sure....I know any brown would work, and being the house is really a neutral color it shouldn't be as hard as I am making it....just don't want to make a BIG mistake!!! Thanks!...See MoreNeed help deciding on how to choose roofing, trim, etc colors

Comments (8)That's a LOT of stone on the front facade. I'd keep it to the garage and post bases, only, then do stucco for everywhere else stone is called for. I think I'd go for a dark green roof, keep the trusses the same color as shown, do a sage/gray color for the shakes, and find stone that will work with those colors. Keep the garage door, the front door, and the front posts the same stain color as the trusses. The shakes and stucco should be the same color. This picture is similar to what I had in mind, but I'd go with a lighter stain color (still too much stone, IMO): Here's another option with a sagier green:...See MoreRelated Professionals
