Choosing a roof you won’t second-guess.

Choosing by colour

Every colour below is a real product from a manufacturer your roofer can order. Here’s what each family tends to suit.

• Black 33 colours

  Sleek modern builds that want maximum contrast and a crisp silhouette. Also the safest match for white or light-grey siding.

• Grey 49 colours

  Modern and transitional homes after a cool, clean, understated roofline. The most forgiving family — greys sit quietly against almost any exterior.

• Brown 78 colours

  Warm, traditional homes — craftsman, cottage, and anything with brown, tan, or natural stone tones.

• Tan 10 colours

  Light, airy, coastal and desert looks. Flatters greige, cream, and soft blue exteriors, and stays cooler in bright sun.

• Red 10 colours

  Earthy, Mediterranean, and farmhouse styles, or anywhere you want warmth and character rather than neutrality.

• Green 6 colours

  A confident statement on white, cream, or stone homes — classic without being loud.

• Blue 4 colours

  Coastal and colonial homes. Reads as a deep slate from the street, with the colour only showing up close.
