Subtle vs. Dramatic: Striking Exterior Combinations

Opt for gray for a captivating presence with striking contrasts. Brick exteriors offer warm earthy tones that blend beautifully with various roof colors. Discover the perfect match for your dream home, leaving a lasting impression on all who pass by. 

Warm Tones vs. Cool Tones: A World of Colors

Choosing a color palette for your home's exterior? Consider warm and cool tones. Cool colors like blues, greens, and purples evoke calm and serenity, while warm colors like oranges, reds, and yellows bring energy and joy. Stick to the same category for a balanced look - cool with cool and warm with warm. Pair white and gray with cool colors for sophistication and tan or brown with warm colors for earthy charm. For a timeless statement, black pairs elegantly with any combination. 

Contemporary vs Classic: Timeless Elegance

Choose between contemporary and classic designs for your home's exterior. Contemporary homes feature dark siding, colored metal roofs,and dynamic materials. Classic designs exude charm with solid-colored siding,asphalt shingle roofs, and a touch of tradition. Explore stunning color combinations that elevate your home's beauty and stand the test of time.

How To Match A New Siding Color To Your Home’s CurrentRoof

If you are re-roofing your home and looking at how to match roof shingles to your house color, there is one rule to follow: stick with thebasics. The most popular colors of roof shingles are shades of black, brown,gray, and red.

These popular shingle colors stem from the materials that builders have been using for centuries: slate, wood, metal, and clay. Today,variations of black, brown, gray, and red roof colors are available in a variety of different roofing materials. Bring samples of roofing home with you and hold them next to your siding to see which classic color complements your home best.  

Try experimenting with lighter shades for a brighter look,or darker shades for a more dramatic effect. Keep in mind that darker roof colors can also draw more heat into the home—a bonus or a drawback, depending on your local climate.
