oaktown, would you message me your house photo or post it again? For some reason, I can't see it on here. I am in the same dilemma as nchome143. We are building a white farmhouse and I have no idea which silver or grey color to use. I hope to have white windows, weathered brick base, and possible wood front porch beams but will go with white ones if needed. I really need some help in deciding this roof color. I dont want it so bright and light, that is doesnt show up. I really just want a silver that is a shade or two darker than my white house.. I suspect the reason so many of us struggle with choosing the correct grey/silver is because pics can be deceptive since these metal roofs seem to change color with the sunset. I still would appreciate any photos, updates, ect ect thank you

Where do you live (thinking of heat with black) ? What are the other choices? Can you post a link to the siding color and roof color options? What style is the house? Black may make it appear top heavy.

Hello again! Resurrecting this post...a decision must be made, possibly by tomorrow, maybe one of you very helpful people will weigh in? I have three shingle samples above my garage - all Certainteed architectural pro - on the left is driftwood. In the middle, moire black. On the right, pewterwood. We need to put coordinating metal in the “valleys” where roof meets roof, and we will put the same color standing seam over two porches, one on the front of the house and the other on the back. Next year, after winter, I’ll paint the windowsills and window casements a color other than brown, to be determined. My husband and several friends like the black. It’s bold and provides the greatest contrast. I’m not so sure about it. Seems like pewterwood will not hold any surprises and may be the safe choice, but potentially harder to coordinate with metal. Thoughts?

greige with that particular green roof and black trim sounds really dull. but besides white, I'm at a loss of what I'd recommend for your house. I'm not a pro, so I tend to be biased to a specific set of looks. I do like the inspiration pic that Lady North posted above: cool grey with white trim. first of all, what is your design style? do you have any inspiration pics? when you google "green metal roof" notice the homes have brighter green roofs than yours, so it's not exactly a fair comparison. next steps I recommend: 1. have roof cleaned well so you can see what the color actually is (right now the dirt is making it look dull) 2. take new photos and ask us again! (for best outcome, shoot on an overcast day so you don't get shadows and glare.) just curious: is the outcome of our answers going to stop you from buying the house? if it's a solid house with a good layout, and you like the location, go for it. don't let this exterior stop you. no matter what, it's fixable. also.... once you move in you might find that painting is not your #1 priority. so you have plenty of time to think this through.
