Shingles on Peach Brick

3 months ago

We are doing home reno. First decision: color of the shingles on new roof. We are leaning towards sticking with the same color...is this charcoal gray? Or does anyone have other ideas?

I like the gray, it's very neutral. If you go with brown, you want to find the right brown ---something pretty neutral. Otherwise, you may find your blue shutters clash. A brown roof would limit paint color options in the future. Now, you don't have much of that blue, but if I were you, I'd paint the shutters on the porch the same blue and the door a darker blue.

I would go with a dark brown architectural shingle. The brown would lend itself better to the brick in my opinion.

Brown one. I think brown shingles look dated.

@Celery. Visualization, Rendering images Wow! thanks for the renderings! I was thinking my current shingles were charcoal gray but i guess not. I do like the charcoal gray. And my front door and shutters are the next step.
