Need Help with roof shingle color
Comments (1)Click on the link I included. Then click on the Shingle Selector icon(US map with magnifting glass. That opens the selection process---you can select the style house you have, change colors and see which one you like. I have no connection in any way with that company or the manufacturer.

Comments (11)This is late but, when I found out that we would be getting a new roof I looked, and looked and looked at shingles. Then the roofers brought sample books when they came to give estimates. None were any of the samples I'd been pouring over online. Finally chose a roofer and both the roofer and I were going back and forth over options and profiles (we are also getting siding on the dormers). Suddenly I turned to my husband and said "What are your thoughts?'. He picked out a roof color, siding and siding profile in about 1 minute. His selections are perfect - better than any combo I was considering! I guess the moral of my story is that sometimes we obsess too much and should ask a non-decorating interested friend....See MoreHelp choosing roof shingle color!!!
Comments (14)Dees Color and whats nice is just a perception of humans. I can find a single color more attractive for no apparent reason. Its not about the color of a roof, but functionality, stability and durability. However, if I were to share my experience regarding your roof, I would recommend a darker color and to repaint the exterior of the house to match. A darker color with a lighter shade to the exterior will add depth and design. Can simply make it stand out in your neighborhood of bland colors. We like to make homeowners stand out and be different! No cookie cutters here!...See MoreRoof shingle color help please!
Comments (10)Tbe sample boards say driftwood and moire black. That’s why I was asking. I am debating between driftwood and weathered wood right now. I am concerned the Driftwood color is too dark for my ranch home. Any input would be appreciated. Also what brand shingle did you go with?...See Moreakarpasov
