There are a lot of metal roof colors to choose from, and we are here to will help you navigate through your options.
Selecting a Metal Roof Color
There are a lot of options when it comes to metal roof colors, so your selection is going to be primarily determined by your personal preference. In general, however, you are going to want to either select a color that contrasts with the rest of the colors on your home or choose a color that complements those colors.
A contrasting color will make the roof visually pop and make the home stand out. Complementary colors will give the home a more classic look.
If you’re not sure which is more your style, we recommend checking out our residential photo gallery. There are a lot of completed roofing projects in the gallery with both complementary and contrasting roofing colors.
Another option is to take a photo of your home and use our visualization tool to see what your home would look like with a metal roof.

The Impact of Paint System on Your Roof ColorAdding a metal roof to your home means decades of reliable, low-maintenance service. But not all paint technologies are the same.

Check out this article that explains in depth the importance of quality coatings, what to consider when choosing a roof coating, and the various options available. To keep a metal roof looking as good as the day it was installed, we recommend a Kynar 500® paint system.
