When choosing a colour for your metal roof, the possibilities are endless! Many of our clients discover that the most difficult choice after deciding to install a metal roof is deciding on the colour to utilize. After all, metal panels are painted and coated with high-quality techniques and do not have the colour restrictions associated with shingle installation.
While paint and colour fads come and go, you want your metal roof’s colour option to last. Additionally, you want the roof colour to go with and enhance the façade of your property. There are several tried-and-true colour combinations that homeowners may reference when choosing a paint colour for their metal roof system and home’s exterior.
The following are some of the most frequently used colour combinations for metal roofing systems:
High-Contrast Colors
Even before the farmhouse fad gained traction, the contrast between a dark roof and a light façade was a timeless colour combination. Nothing is more timeless than black and white. The appearance is crisp and polished, and it complements a wide variety of house designs. The colour combination might seem classic and traditional or sleek and contemporary, depending on the design of your house. Charcoal and matte black are common metal roof colours to accomplish this effect.
Coastal Colors
While pairing a soft-coloured house façade with a metallic or light-coloured metal roof is common in coastal areas, these gentle and easy-going colour choices work well in most residential settings. Numerous homeowners complement their light-coloured metal roofs with gentle blues, greens, or white exteriors. When looking for a lighter metal roof colour, Light Stone, Almond, and white are the go-to options.
Bright & Lively Colors
Additionally, less subtle colour choices may help you make a vibrant statement with your house. Many homeowners blend vibrant greens and reds with white and off-white exteriors to make their houses stand out. Evergreen, Brite Red, and Autumn Red are all popular metal roof colours for obtaining this effect.
Earth Tones and Natural Colors
Combining earth tones with natural house exteriors is another time-tested look that buyers consistently choose. A home’s natural surroundings are enhanced when warm hues on a metal roof are combined with natural features such as wood, stone, and brick. This colour scheme is particularly popular in hilly, lakefront, and other attractive areas. Green tones, which Jay Carter Roofing has in various shades, and Bravo Red are popular metal roof colour choices. Additionally, other popular brown and bronze tones include Tudor Brown, Mansard Brown, and Surrey Beige.
Tone-on-Tone Combinations
Whether you pick a light or dark colour palette, choosing a metal roof colour that complements the outside colour of your house is a certain way to achieve success. Numerous clients blend eggshell whites with soft beige-coloured metal roofs to produce an exquisite image for their homes. Surrey Beige and Champagne are typical client choices for this look.
Recently, architects have similarly used dark hues. Dark charcoal or black siding and painted brick, paired with dark-coloured metal roofs such as Matte Black or Charcoal, give a home’s exterior an ultra-modern and sophisticated appearance.
