Light Grey Roof House Colors

The roof makes up about 40 of the visible exterior of your home depending on the style of the house so choosing the right shingle colors and roofing materials means that when you make your choice you are also deciding on the type of first impression you want to make with your home and even bigger decisions like the resale value of the property.

Light grey roof house colors.

White and grey are both neutrals. While your house may be light gray in color consider the building materials when selecting a roof color. White is added to black to create grey. If you paint your house white and pair it with grey shingles on the roof paint the trim or shutters on your house grey as well.

Red roofs will also look good on gray houses or houses of stone with predominantly gray tints. Be sure to test the paint look before coating your house with it. Conversely if the roof is light grey dark grey walls can accomplish the same thing. White is a conventional traditional color to paint a house.

Remember that a color can look different on a paint sample than it does on a broad surface such as an exterior house wall. This simple palette works best with more traditional style homes but can work well with some modern styles as well. A black door also makes a classy and fitting centerpiece to the ensemble. If all white is a bit too much you can also go with another light neutral like cream or soft beige with a crisp white trim for a little more contrast.

Gray can have undertones of blue green or violet. If you have chosen a black or gray roof for your home the gray may be dark medium or light gray. If your house is made of wood or has steel or vinyl siding a green roof or a blend of green shades will work.
