If you're looking for a bold and striking statement, a contrasting metal roof might be the way to go. Imagine your home with a bright red roof against a soft white siding, or a rich bronze roof that pops against warm light beige walls. A bright blue roof with a bright white exterior can provide you with a fabulous beach cottage look. The contrast between the roof and the rest of the house creates a stunning visual impact that is sure to make you feel lovely.

A contrasting metal roof can also be used to highlight the architectural features of your home. For example, if you have a beautiful stone fireplace or a unique chimney. A contrasting roof can draw attention to these features and accentuate their beauty. This style works especially well if your home has a classic or traditional design. The contrast between the roof and the exterior siding can create a timeless look.

If you're looking to add some character and personality to your home, a contrasting metal roof can do just that. This style is perfect for those who want to make a statement and show off their individuality. Whether you opt for a bright, bold color or a more subdued shade, a contrasting metal roof will help your home stand out. And, with the durability and longevity of metal roofing, you can enjoy your eye-catching roof for years to come.

 

Is a Metal Roof Color that Blends Your Style?

Looking for a metal roof that seamlessly integrates with your home's existing exterior? The "blending in" style may be just what you're after. A metal roof that blends with your home allows the roof to fade into the background. This allows the other elements of your home's exterior to take center stage. This style is perfect for homeowners who want their roof to complement their homes, rather than making a bold statement.

When choosing a metal roof color for a blending style, it's important to consider the existing colors of your home. Look at the color of your siding, shutters, and trim, and choose a metal roof color that complements those colors. A metal roof color that's too bold or that contrasts too greatly with the other colors on your home can detract from the overall look of your home. Instead, aim for a metal roof color that is similar in hue to the other colors on your home. Keep in mind it can be just a few shades lighter or darker.

By choosing a metal roof color that blends with your home, you can create a harmonious and cohesive look that is both stylish and timeless. Whether you have a traditional, colonial-style home or a modern home. A metal roof color that blends can add the perfect finishing touch to your exterior design. So if you value subtlety and elegance, the blending style may be the right choice for you.

 

The Combo - The Best of Both Color Styles

The combo style is the perfect choice for those who have an eye for detail and are looking for a roof that truly stands out. By combining elements of both contrast and blending, a combo roof creates a unique and visually stunning look. One that complements the overall aesthetic of the home. This style requires a careful balance of color selection. The roof color must harmoniously blend with both the home's exterior and the surrounding environment.

A combo roof can be a true work of art when executed correctly. Seamlessly tying together colors and textures to create a unified and eye-catching design. This style is particularly well-suited to homes with various architectural features. Such as a combination of stucco, siding, brick, or cultured stone. The perfect color roof can highlight these elements and bring them together in a cohesive manner.
