Once you have determined your home needs a new roof, selecting the color may be the next complex decision to make. This decision must not be rushed! You will need to live with your choice for over two decades! What are some of the most popular colors in the Sandy and Salt Lake City area? Perhaps this list will help close the gap of color choices to pick from.
There are five major areas of shingle colors.
- Light brown hues – sand, taupe, desert
- Dark brown hues – autumn brown, tree bark, weathered wood
- Blue hues – denim, navy, sky blue, blue-green
- Green hues – forest, moss, hunter
- Off-White hues – beige, stone, tan, khaki
When deciding which of these hues would look best for your home, consider the color of the siding on the house. Choosing a roof color to correspond nicely with the siding is an important key to the decision-making process. Of course, it is best to speak with the professionals at Olympus Roofing in Sandy and Salt Lake City. We can come out with some samples and place them next to your home to get an idea of how they will look together.
