Roof Color? White House w/ Black Trim
I need help picking a roof color. White house w/ black trim (Black gutter/White downspout were added since picture was taken). My options are Owens Corning Estate gray, Onyx Black, Twilight black and Peppermill Gray. Live in S. Wisc and the existing roof is closest to estate gray. Twilight and Peppermill cost $300 more.Picture of the house in question and the different colors.
Edit- I took some more pictures with the samples I received. The existing roof definitely has some brown/red in it and is closest to the Peppermill Gray ( of 10 years ago). The long shingle piece was in the garage but i'm not certain that was part of this roof. Looks like it though. If it was it has faded considerably.

Slate/charcoal/dark gray house, white trim and ____ colored roof?
Comments (1)I would go with charcoal gray or black....See MoreBlack Grasscloth wallpaper w/white or black painted trim? Thanks
Comments (16)I would do black trim. What would be the point of white? It would stick out like a sore thumb against the black and negate the whole disappearing walls effect. And for those who advocate neutral walls, black is pretty neutral. :) ETA: Don't forget that your floors are light and will provide contrast. If you add contrast on the walls as well, it might make the wallpaper stand out in a way you don't want. Here are some pictures I found of both. It may help you decide which effect you prefer. Dark grasscloth walls, white trim above and below: Trim the same colour as walls(notice the dark floor as well): No trim, dark floor, white ceiling. I find the grasscloth wall disappears into the floor. Dark grasscloth and dark trim, dark floor:...See MoreWhat color would you paint roof trim in square house with flat roof?

Comments (16)jlcbm,,,i'd prob redo the garage area like this. (those clipped edges around the door and arched window are really dated) Doesn't this look better? square window in tihe black trim (this is if you go w/the dark trim option). the siding on the garage area is changed to a composite shingle/shake. new lights, and much better looking garage door. carriage hardware makes a big diff if you have a plain jane door like you have. on this one, a wood arbor buys up some of that huge space another door option w/the black hardware. you could also do the siding over here in a birck and batten panel, or vertical siding, or shake or both. across the middle below the window do a divider you could also do the siding over here in a birck and batten panel, or vertical siding, or shake or both. I love this one. see how they divided the gable portion w/vertical and horizontal? this is a grate, but you could square off your window. across the middle below the window do a divider. they did a thick white band above. smaller siding and composite shake. they have a small roof overhang, but you could do something diff These are the bronze colors. In any case, square off the clipped edges and do a diff window...See More
