Metal Roofing Color Chart – The Most Popular Choices

Metal roofing is not only durable, versatile and convenient. Among its countless benefits I should also name the fact that all metal roofing manufacturers offer their customers a wide variety of metal roofing colors to choose from.

Aside from this, one of the most important aesthetic advantages of metal roofing is the fact that it can be easily painted as often as you want – whenever you decide to refresh your outdoor design.

If you need a change of atmosphere or you’re simply choosing the color of your new roof, you’ll definitely need a metal roofing color chart that will help you compare different colors and pick the most suitable one.

Let’s make a quick review of the most popular colors present on the metal roofing market nowadays.

First we’ll talk about white. You might say: “Ok, white is white, let’s move on!” Not so fast! Actually, there are many interesting shades of white you can choose from: Solar White, Regal White, Stone White, Bone White, Arctic White and many others. Each of these shades has a specific ‘temperature’, some being warmer, others – colder. White, all in all, is not such a widespread color, but you should also remember that light colors are considered energy efficient, helping you to reduce your cooling expenses during summer by reflecting away the heat coming from the sun.

The list of light colors continues with Ivory, Light Stone, Almond, Sandstone and Sierra Tan. These are warm shades of light beige that are wonderful for classical designs.

Now let’s move to the shades of red. Terracotta (also spelled Terra Cotta) is probably one of the most common choices, because it mimics the color of natural ceramic shingles that were so popular during many centuries. Besides, this color looks extremely attractive! Other popular shades of red are Colonial Red, Regal Red, Burgundy, Deep Red, Cardinal Red and Patriot Red. Personally, I favor red shades very much, especially as metal roofing colors. They are expressive, vibrant and full of life, making your house stand out without being tasteless.

If we talk about green, we have countless choices as well. Let’s name just a few: Forest Green, Patina Green, Standard Teal, Everglade Moss, Hartford Green, Evergreen, Marine Green, Hunter Green, Arcadia Green and Hemlock Green.

Blue is a good color for metal roofing as well. It has many commercially available shades: Regal Blue, Slate Blue, Berkshire Blue, Award Blue, Interstate Blue, Military Blue, Gallery Blue, Pacific Blue, Deep Blue and Hawaiian Blue.

Let’s move to brown metal roofing. You can choose between Dark Bronze, Medium Bronze, Mansard Brown, Cocoa Brown and different copper shades.

There are also many options if you decide to paint your roof in a shade of grey: Charcoal Grey, Slate Grey, Dove Grey, Preweathered Galvalume, Unpainted Galvalume,  Pearl Grey, Musket Gray and Ash Grey.

Black is an option as well: you can choose between simple Black, Matte Black and Midnight Bronze.

Besides these classical colors, there are many other interesting shades that you can compare both online and in local stores: Seafog, Burnished Slate, Clay, Granite, Cityscape, Teal and the list can go on.

Many manufacturers also offer metallic colors for painting the metal roof: Zinc, Weathered Zinc, Silver, Aged Copper, Copper Penny and Champagne.

Orange, Yellow, Indigo and Violet can be used as metal roofing colors as well. Being extremely eye catching, they are more appropriate for industrial buildings or as a corporate color that will mark the headquarters of a certain company. if you’re interested in one or more of the described colors, all you have to do is search for them online – you’ll certainly find a metal roof manufacturer that can provide you with the color you need.
