Select a medium neutral color that coordinates with many colors. DO NOT SELECT BLACK FOR YOUR ROOF.

Sunrise Cedar or Max Def Resawn Shake would be my choices. i agree with BeverlyFLADeziner on no Blacks, or even Gray's as they really go with nothing on your house currently.

The main reason I dislike the color of my current shingles is because it seems like too much brown. Brown roof, brown siding and brown cedar shake. Isn’t that too much brown?

Love your adorable Craftsman style home! Yes to a roof with Brown in it, as suggested above. Craftsman style homes’ design palette is earth toned: browns, greens, deep reds…colors found in nature. It will not be too much brown. It will “go” with the aesthetic of your home’s history.

Thanks for all of the helpful advice.
Here are some photos I took today while at the building supply store. The Driftwood is the bottom middle of the first photo and Georgetown Gray is the bottom middle in the second photo. Are those viable options as they both have a brownish hue? Or still too gray?

No. To. Anything. Gray. You need to go to the brown family, everything else is. You can do what you want but........................

Thank you, I really appreciate your help and input.

Don’t be afraid of the browns in your case. They’ll work nicely. I do agree with you regarding overly variegated shingles.

So… based on everyone’s advice here, I’m ruling out the gray and will likely go with weathered wood. Is this acceptable? I just can’t go with anything more brown.

Have your roofer lay a bundle of the shingle spread out on the roof. I think it is too gray and not brown enough personally and will not mesh well as the roof is huge. But again it is your house........................

^Good suggestion.

Sample Sunrise Cedar.

A green combo may blend in with the trees

You could also explore the possibility of paint or stain for the shingles..to tone it dow a little

Monique, have the roofer do as millworkman suggested with a bundle of shingles on the roof. It’s very hard to tell from a computer screen, but Weathered Wood might be good. See what YOU think since opinions vary greatly with roof colors. Sometimes I cringe when I see ”interesting” new roofs going on knowing the cost involved. Who cares as long as the homeowners are happy!

I suggest that you go here: Colorview visualizer (part of the CertainTeed Landmark website), upload your home photo just as you've done here, and try out the various roof colors on your own photo.

That said, I am leaning toward Driftwood, it is a nice neutral, natural looking shade that seems to have enough brown to work, but not so brown that it will make choosing a new siding or paint color (just in case) difficult.

Weathered wood or driftwood

Driftwood. A bit of brown, some darker boss, and it will look great with the siding and trim. Very classic.

The building materials supplier gave me a list of addresses of recently installed shingles in Driftwood and Weathered Wood. So, I went on a roof tour after work to take a look. It was a little helpful to see and identify the shingle colors on roofs but it didn’t help me in terms of making a selection because they were on different style homes that weren’t the same color as mine.

I asked my roofing contractor to bring over bundles of both Driftwood and Weathered Wood and they are going to lay them on the roof for me in the morning. I think this will be the most helpful, to see the actual shingles on my roof.

I never liked the color of my house but I realized through this process that I really dislike it. It’s a khaki color but it almost has a pink undertone. The reason I am having so much difficulty selecting a shingle color is because the undertone isn’t good and it doesn’t coordinate well with anything. My vinyl siding was painted once before, about 5 years ago, right before I bought the house. So, there’s a very good chance that I might have the siding painted next year in the spring.

Oh, and I did the Landmark color visualizer online. It’s actually a really cool thing. I paid $15 for it and I can swap out roof and siding colors easily. The shingle colors show too dark though. I don’t think the brightness is depicted very well.

It’s definitely between Weathered Wood and Driftwood. Hopefully, after seeing the shingle colors in the morning, I will feel better about my decision.

Thanks again, everyone. I appreciate all of your helpful advice.

I chose Weathered Wood and my roof is being installed on Friday. Worst case scenario, I don’t like how it looks with my siding and I repaint the siding in the spring. 😊

I had CertainTeed Weathered Wood on my house and loved it - with my sage-ish green siding and ivory-ish trim. Very natural looking and not an attention grabber. When I had to have the roof replaced a couple of years ago, I told the contractor that I wanted Weathered Wood again - but did not realize that he was going to use a different brand, and that Weathered Wood is more brown. It is okay, works with the new siding, but I just don't like it quite as much!

Looks great with your house color!👍🏻

Perfect choice! Bravo!

Congratulations! It looks great and even makes the siding more attractive (Not that I am saying it wasn't....)

It looks really nice!

Looks great!!!
