A dark and light contrast is a classic, timeless choice. This house’s charcoal-colored roof stands stark against its white siding.

With a modern industrial style, you’ll enjoy the usage of lots of mixed media. This home combines red brick, cement, and wood panels.

To complete the modern industrial look, it’s only natural to have a gorgeous dark metal roof. If you don’t want a metal roof, you could instead install a black shingle roof.

3. A Seamless Gray Transition

The house and roof colors in this photo perfectly exemplify a seamless color transition—the gray shingles of the roof share similar shades to the wooden siding shingles.

The gray siding shingles complement the blue-gray siding of the house beneath. Then, lastly, as you move down the house, the blue-gray siding transitions easily into gray stonework. 

The color palette in this home is very intentional, ensuring a soft look. This look ensures that you don’t draw too much attention to a particular detail of your house.

4. Gray and Brown

Although gray and brown aren’t the most popular color pairing choices, they work well together. The cool gray stone stands out underneath the warm brown shingles, and one element does not overpower another.

The stone’s texture adds visual interest to the aesthetic as well.

And, although gray is cool and brown is warm, both colors reflect what you can find in nature. This guarantees that the color combo works well. 

5. Multi-Colored Brick and Gray

If your home is built with this type of architectural style, your roof is on full display and cannot be missed. For this reason, you want to ensure that your roof and house colors mesh well.

The multi-colored brick and gray complement the sloping slate-gray roof. The light gray color underneath the roof overhang blends well with the roof color, while the multi-colored brick stands out against it. 

6. Tan and Beige

It should go without saying that tans and beiges go well with tans and beiges. The lighter colors used in the siding pull from, the lighter color flecks in the brown shingles of the roof.

This aesthetic is easy on the eyes, especially with the various textures used in the design. 

Something else worth noting is that, with this color palette on your home, your landscaping really has the opportunity to catch the eye. Allow your landscape to infuse more color into your property. 

7. Eye-Catching Color Combinations

White trim ties everything together and allows each element to stand out.

8. Soft Grays
