Metal roofs can withstand the toughest weather, reduce your carbon footprint and can last a lifetime. Mastershake metal roofs have innovative shingles and strapping, as well as modern, sleek trim.

In this post, we’ll go over the best house colours to complement your new metal roofing system.

HOW TO PICK HOUSE COLOURS FOR METAL ROOFS

White. White is a classic colour that looks good on most homes, but looks amazing on homes with metal roofs. It makes the roof the focal point of the home. Choose almost any accent for your trim, door, or gutters, such as a bright red, blue or green.
Subdued red. Subdued red that mimics the natural tinge of bricks looks great with grey metal roofs. Choose white for the trim and door to make the red stand out against your roof.
Green. Your metal roof will look great with almost any shade of green. From a light, pale gray to a darker, forest green, your roof will blend in seamlessly. Accent colours can vary with green houses, from red to draw a stark contrast, to white for a more low-key feel.
Yellow. Yellow metal roofs work well with all types of houses, from modern to Victorian style. Choose from a sunny yellow, to a bright yellow for a darker metal roof. Accents for the trim and door can be green, red or white.
Gray. Many people love the look of a monochromatic colour scheme, and gray metal roofs with a gray home is no exception. You’ll want to pick a gray colour for your home that is either a couple of shades lighter or darker than that of your roof. If you choose a colour for your home that is too close to the colour of your metal roof, you’ll end up with a washed out look that is not aesthetically-pleasing at all. You want a clear definition between your home and your roof. Accents can be a classic white to draw attention to the gray, or a bright yellow or red, to draw attention to your door and trim.
