1. Observe how much of your roof is visible from the street or how much is in view from most vantage points in the neighborhood. If you have a larger roof, a neutral shingle color will probably look best. This gives you more options to play with color accents around your home like gutter color, shutters, exterior and trim paint, and other aspects of your home. If your roof angle is normal or slight, you can use more colorful shingles or more interesting shingle patters and designs.
2. Use colors in the same color family as the body of your house for a simple and non-accented color combination between your roof and the rest of your house. For example, If you have a gray home, you are probably best going with a gray (light or dark) or even a charcoal, which is like a grayish-black, and then you can choose colors like white or black for your trim. This will help give a blend yet still be interesting.
3. Use bolder and brighter colors to make a design statement. Have a red brick home, give Forest Green a shot! Have a gray house as mentioned above, check out Riviera Red as an option. Re-roofing your home and choosing right color is something that most people only do once or twice. Stay blended and neutral or explore colorful options to make a statement in your neighborhood!
4. Always follow your instinct. Don’t always listen to your mother. Or that neighbor who always has an opinion. Yes, ask them what they think as a wise person always seeks consul but you know — it’s probably best to just trust your instinct. Choose a roof color that makes you feel comfortable and makes your home feel more like home. You and your family are the ones who will be looking at it every time you pull in the driveway.
