3 Tips on How To Choose a Timeless Roofing Color

October 25, 2021 by Heritage Roofing

You don’t really need to be an expert in color theory to be able to choose the right color for your roof. Luckily, there are a few tried and tested principles that can guide you in selecting a timeless color for your asphalt shingles roof, one that is proven to stand the test of time. 

Trendy vs. Timeless

As we know, trends tend to come and go. While following a trend may be okay when picking out a new wardrobe, it is not something that we recommend for something like your roof, which you will be forced to live with for a couple of decades at least.

When it comes to picking out a color for your residential roofing, we always recommend sticking to the classics. 

How To Select the Right Roof Color

The most popular classic roofing colors in the U.S. are black, grey, and cedar. Black simply never goes out of style and, if you live in a cold climate, a dark color could work to your advantage. Dark grey, which is basically just a lighter shade of black, also works well with a lot of siding options. 

Reds, greens, and browns are also classic colors that can be seen in all styles of homes, past and present. It evokes a rustic charm because it mimics the appearance of real wood shakes, which were widely available in rural areas. While roof color is largely a personal preference, our advice is to choose something that you are going to be comfortable with 10 years into the future.
