Our metal roof customers have identified these eight colors below as the most popular choices. 

Barn Red ranks first with most metal roof owners, such as the Crooked House illustrates. Green and gray tints follow as second and third favorites.  In Virginia, the stately black color appears everywhere.  Stone house residents favor the bronze tones. Traditional blue and patina hold their own special niche with customers.

NEW: Tin metal roofing: four reasons to keep the old panels

For me, a real surprise has been my customers' tint selection with brick siding.  Click this link for brick siding homes illustrated with colored metal roof photos.

Check my tin roofing blog for over a hundred photos illustrating the wide variety of selections of colors.  More than a few select a custom color based on their siding, their location and their preferences.

As an aside, I still remember the owner of a country homestead who selected Williamsburg Blue. "Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being happy in a home with a blue roof," she said. When the fellows opened the pail of Williamsburg Blue, her eyes teared up. I thought she was being sentimental. Not at all. She told me she realized she had to leave her childhood taste in colors to the past. Just to make certain of her "adult" decision, we applied the first coat in Williamsburg Blue. Happily for all, she chose a Colonial Grey for her top coat. The lesson of this unexciting tale: roof color choice can change over time.
