Choosing the right color for your metal roof may seem a bit daunting. After all, whatever color you choose will stick with you for the long haul as metal roofs tend to last a very long time.
Having chosen a metal roof for your home deserves applause, as they are a fantastic option to keep your home protected. But how do you pick a great color that complements your home?
Before you make any decisions, you’ll want to check with your HOA to see if they have any restrictions on roof colors you can choose. After that, it’s best to decide on a color that best suits the rest of your home and what you’d like to accentuate. At Linta Roofing we’ve seen homeowners make some really beautiful roof color decisions. So in this article we’ll talk about some of the color combinations you may want to consider for your home based on great decisions we’ve seen our customers make.
Let’s get into it!
What Metal Roof Colors Do You Have to Choose From?
The first thing to consider when choosing a color for your metal roof are the options you have to choose from. There are an array of colors and shades available that, when picked wisely, can really enhance the look of your home. We reached out to one of our metal manufacturers, CMP, for samples of colors they have available. While these colors don’t include every single color option, they are a great visual to scroll through to get an idea of what’s out there!

Another variable to consider when choosing a metal roof color is the location you live in. Do you live in a coastal environment? Or maybe you’re more tucked away in a wooded area? Either way, there’s a great metal roof color for your home that suits your location.
Popular Metal Roof Colors Based on Your Location
As you can see metal roofs come in a wide variety of colors. This can make the decision-making process somewhat difficult. However, we’ve noticed that what helps the decision-making process is considering your home’s location. If you don’t have a current vision for your home, you may be inspired by some of the styles we’ve seen our customers choose that tied the exterior look of their home together nicely.
Coastal Colors
Homes located near the coast often embrace a palette that reflects the natural surroundings. Coastal colors like white, seafoam green, and red are popular choices. White offers a clean, classic look that can evoke the brightness of beachside cottages. Seafoam green, reminiscent of ocean waves and sea glass, blends beautifully with the coastal landscape, providing a soft, calming appearance. Red roofs, though bolder, offer a striking contrast against the blues and whites commonly seen in coastal settings, adding a touch of warmth and tradition.
Inland Colors
For homes situated inland, earthy tones tend to work best. Colors like brown, green, and gray complement the natural surroundings, such as forests, fields, and mountains. Brown roofs, in particular, offer a rustic charm that pairs well with wood or stone exteriors. Green roofs blend seamlessly with lush landscapes, creating a harmonious connection with nature. Not only that, but green roofs can also offer a cottage-like feel to homes with wood siding. Gray roofs are versatile and neutral, providing a sleek and understated look that can complement a variety of exterior materials and colors.
Modern Look
For a modern aesthetic, a combination of white siding with a black roof is a striking choice. This high-contrast pairing offers a contemporary, clean, and sophisticated look. The crisp white siding exudes a sense of simplicity and brightness, while the black roof adds depth and a bold statement, creating a modern, elegant appearance that stands out. 
Choosing the right color for your metal roof involves considering the specific environment and the style of your home. Whether you live by the coast, in a more rustic inland area, or in a modern neighborhood, there’s a perfect color palette to enhance your home’s curb appeal and make it feel uniquely yours.
Making a Final Decision on Your Metal Roof Color
Metal roofs are known for their longevity, durability, and unique style. They provide a subtle and clean finish to any home. But the pressure of choosing the right color may feel quite stressful.
After all, when you invest in a metal roof, you want to know that you’ll be happy with how it looks for a long time. Now that you know what colors are available for your new metal roof, it’s time to prepare for your roof replacement.
