I've seen a roof with GAF Weathered Wood that looked great with a cream colored house. Please don't put a metal roof of any color on your beautiful bungalow. It doesn't go. You may find this book interesting:

You probably know this, but your roofer or local roofing material supply store should be able to give you a list of homes with your preferred roof colors, and you can drive around and see how they look in a large swath.

FWIW, I own a 1940 bungalow (currently painted a sage color, to be repainted a darker green, probably SW "Messenger Bag") and I'll be using GAF Weathered Wood. One reason: it's trying to look like wood shingles, which is what is period-appropriate for these bungalows. I considered Slate (a light grey) but prefer Weathered Wood.

Good luck! Happy New Roof!

p.s. I wouldn't repaint the trim. It looks good. I'd save that time/money and speed up when you repaint the pink.

I agree cannot stand the variations in colors of roof shingles. I look out my slider at a brown/tan/yellow and out my front windows at blue/black both of which I dislike. Our old roof was silver and our contractor uses Owens Corning so I had a really difficult time choosing a new color. Color I wanted wasn't available in New England. Ended up with Shasta White. It's a Cape Cod style home with weathered gray shingles on 3 sides and blue/green clapboard on front with white trim so it worked.

Look at GAF Timbertex Fox Hollow Gray

This is shasta white not to much variation

I actually think a light/medium brown would look really cute with cream (and the pink while you still have it!)

I like the look of weathered wood by GAF. You have a super cute house.

Wow thanks everyone! This is my first post on this site and it's so helpful.

A few responses:

@girl_wonder so annoying - both my roofer and the local suppliers say they cannot give out ANY addresses for privacy reasons. So, I have been walking around and literally knocking on doors but have yet to see the weathered wood on a roof (that I can confirm). That said, it;s the one I am leaning toward and it's super helpful that a few people here can vouch for it looking good.

@jck910 I don't think I can get that GAF colour (I'm in Canada in the pacific northwest). I like the light roof you chose... but am afraid it will be too light for me, especially with the pink. I tried a light colour on one of the apps and it looked odd.

@Emily Richardson I agree a medium brown could work, but I can't find one that's not patchy

and @BeverlyFLADeziner those are gorgeous! Are they real wood? I don't think I can afford to do that and keep reading it's not advisable...

Thanks also @houssaon I love my little house and want it to have a roof that it deserves

Oh - I found the amazulu tile. Cool product! I will look into it... but I've already given my roofer a deposit and I don't know if they'd work with it. It's lovely - thanks

another question if you don't mind. Is this the look of weathered wood (approx) for those who've seen it?
