Grey roofed houses.

Grey shingles are a traditional color choice for a rooftop. A gray will complement a number of warm and cool color combinations and can add particular balance to several vivid shades. It s an excellent color to use on a roof because it matches most colors at least reasonably well and with neutral colored homes which make up the majority of traditionally decorated houses grey shingles are one of the best choices on the market. If you re building your home from the ground up or are doing some major remodeling to the outside of your house you ll want to coordinate the roof color with the hues of brick siding or stone for the home s exterior.

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 neutral color will also bring a moody makeover to your home and has become trendy for both the interior and the exterior. Whether it s asphalt shingles in a dark charcoal or roof tiles in a lighter slate gray it s a great neutral tone that provides a nice base for a large range of color palettes. 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. Grey is a neutral color. If your roof is dark grey you can paint the walls a light grey and they will complement the roof without creating too monotone an effect.
