Help on exterior colors and roof

last year

We are building a house and it's a modern/contemporary. It has light gray, wood, and stone exterior. We've decided on white windows (because I don't like black and the price). Now that the builder wants us to decide on a roof, I can't find a lot of photos out there with modern style homes and white windows. All I saw are black windows and black roof. What should I consider in regards to the color of the roof to make the exterior colors cohesive?

What does the house look like, and what does your light gray, wood and stone look like?

Go with a copper metal roof. I have no idea how it will look on your house with the information provided, but I just like copper roofs. You probably will not like the price.

You didn't describe or show what type of "modern" you are building, so I did a generic "Modern exterior" search on Houzz photos and picked out some with white windows ...

It's worth noting that my copper roof is statue of liberty green. I love it, but it's not the color most people think of when they hear copper. But it is the color most copper roofs will eventually be.
