Certainteed natural clay siding, what color roof??

12 years ago

Driving myself crazy!! We are remodeling our home and are set on natural clay vinyl siding. We are using GAF 30 yr roof. I was set on mission brown but out contractor has said he's never used mission brown with clay siding. He recommended weathered wood or black. I def do not want black and weathered wood is nice but I wanted more of a brown. The roof on top is what I like and the bottom is weathered wood. Anyone know what color the top roof is? All recommendations welcomed! Please!! :) thx

We used grey with the certainteed clay siding. We have the monogram 46 (4inch), looks great with the grey.

Hi Gina. I am currently facing the same decision. We're going with Natural Clay cedar impressions and I'd like a brownish roof color with enough depth for contrast. Curious as to what roof color you finally chose and if you could please post an end result photo. Thank you!

For a GAF roof I would look at Barkwood Brown.

Thank you. Our home was actually completed in Fall 2016. In the end, we went with Sable Brown siding and Weathered Wood roof shingles.
