How To Choose The Right Shingle Colours For Your Roof

Choosing the right shingle colours for your roof can be stressful. You want the colours to match your home’s exterior and be long-lasting. And, your roof is one of the first things people see when they look at your home. So you want it to look visually pleasing. 

Let’s go over how to choose the right shingle colours for your roof.

Make A Mood Board 

Your window shutters, trims and bricks should all be visually cohesive with your roof. A mood board is a collage of photos where you can visually see how your window shutters, trims and bricks will look once together. This way, you can play around with different colour schemes to choose an architectural aesthetic that meets your expectations. 

Don’t Feel Limited 

There are a wide variety of shingle colours you can choose from. You can also stick with the current shingle colour on your roof. Don’t feel limited when it comes to changing the colour of your shingles. You may feel tempted to play it safe with the same colour, but refreshing your home with a new colour can boost its curb appeal. 

See The Colour

When you have settled on a shingle colour, make sure you see it in person. Colours can look completely different on the actual shingle, than they do online or on paper. So, take the time to go in person to see the actual shingle colour. You could also ask your roofers to bring a replica of a coloured shingle so you can see it on your roof. 

Think About Lighting

Your roof is constantly exposed to the sun, more than any other area of your home’s exterior. The colour of your roof can change depending on how the light hits it. It is important to take this into consideration so you know how the sun can affect the colour of your roof.
