Just as important as choosing your panel substrate is choosing your roof color. If you are on the fence about a decision for the color of your next metal roof, here are a few things to consider:
Colors are no longer limited to black, brown, and grey; Sentriclad comes in 31 color and sheen options. Whether you decide to venture out with a bold color like Banner Red or more modest with Medium Bronze, there is a color for everyone.
Is Energy Efficiency important to you?

Sherwin Williams coatings also contain solar-reflective pigments that adds to the energy efficiency.
Quick Tip: Choosing a lighter color will have better reflectivity than darker colors.
Choose a color that “fits” your home
While some may choose a color from preference, others may opt for a color that fits the architectural style of their house. Here are some options based on architectural styles:
- Barn or Farmhouse: Brandywine, Colonial Red, Extra Dark Bronze, Matte Black, Classic Green
- Spanish: Terra Cotta, Colonial Red
- Craftsman: Sierra Tan, Slate Blue, Slate Gray, Dove Gray
- Ranch: Charcoal Gray, Dark Bronze, Mansard Brown
- Modern: Matte Black, Regal White, Charcoal Gray
- Cape Cod: Sandstone, Slate Gray, Medium Bronze, Dove Gray
- Victorian: Charcoal Gray, Dove Gray, Hartford Green
Compliment your surroundings
Consider your geographical location before choosing a color. If you live in the mountains, choose cool, earthy tones. If you live in warm, tropical areas, choose colors that are light and bright. If you live in the flatter Midwest, choose softer, earthy tones.
Follow your HOA Rules
Some HOA prohibit certain colors, so make sure you check with your HOA for color choices.
