Picking the Perfect Color for Your Asphalt Roofing Shingles

December 20, 2023

Welcome to Fixins Home Services, your go-to roofing experts right here in the heart of Colorado Springs! We're thrilled to share some valuable insights about residential roofing, specifically guiding you on choosing the perfect color for your asphalt roofing shingles. Our trusted partners at Owens Corning Roofing recently provided some fantastic guidance, and we're excited to pass it on to help you make well-informed and stylish decisions for your roof.

To kick things off, let's explore the significance of a roof color that harmonizes with your home's exterior. It's not just about enhancing curb appeal; it's about infusing a sense of pride into your living space. We believe in giving you the freedom to choose a color that resonates with your personal style, creating a home that feels uniquely yours.


Our guide begins by offering practical tips on selecting the best shingle color. We want you to be well-prepared when discussing color choices with our roofing experts. It's all about understanding your options and feeling confident about the color you choose for a roof that you'll truly adore.
Cool versus warm colors take center stage in our exploration. We encourage you to take a good look at your home's color scheme, evaluating the tones of existing components like brick, siding, and window trim. Are you leaning towards the cool blues and greens, or does the warmth of reds and yellows appeal to you? Let's find the perfect balance that complements your home's unique features.


So, what makes the best roof color for you? It's the one that ticks all the boxes—aligning with your home's design, boosting curb appeal, enhancing resale value, ensuring energy efficiency, and meeting any building codes or HOA requirements. Your roof, making up nearly 40% of your home's exterior, plays a significant role in elevating your curb appeal.


Speaking of resale value, a new roof is a major selling point. We'll explore how choosing a shingle color that complements your home while standing out from the crowd can be a game-changer. At Fixins Home Services, we believe your roof should not only protect but also make a statement that sets your home apart.


As we navigate the world of popular roof colors, we acknowledge the classics—black, brown, gray, and tan. But here's the exciting part—modern asphalt shingles have evolved! Owens Corning's innovative blends, including Summer Harvest, Aged Copper, and Black Sable, allow for unique pops of color, turning your roof into a canvas for personal expression.


In 2023 we saw four stunning additions to the Owens Corning Duration® Shingle line: Midnight Plum, Peppercorn, Sand Castle, and Desert Rose. The spotlight shines on Midnight Plum as the Shingle Color of the Year—a rich and bold purple, the first of its kind in the roofing industry.


But our exploration doesn't stop there! We venture into playful roof colors, from the regality of purple to the warmth of red, the freshness of blue, and the natural vibes of green. Visual examples accompany each color, giving you a sneak peek into how these hues can transform your home.


The journey concludes by introducing you to color selection tools, ensuring you have the confidence to make the right decision. Life-sized printed shingle color posters allow you to compare options side by side, making your color selection process a breeze. And remember, there's no rush—take your time, explore the possibilities, and, when you're ready, our experts at Fixins Home Services are here to bring your roofing vision to life.


Trust us with your residential roofing needs in Colorado Springs, where we not only prioritize aesthetics but also work closely with HOAs to ensure that your selected colors align with the appropriate palette. Let's turn your roof into a masterpiece that perfectly complements your home's unique style. Welcome to the ultimate guide to finding the perfect roof color with Fixins Home Services—let the journey begin!
