Industry Color Trends

The color of your roof can significantly impact the overall look of your home or building. Here are some of the latest color trends in the metal roofing and siding industry:

  1. Black Continues to Trend Upward: A sleek, clean and modern aesthetic (especially when paired with white siding) can enhance the overall curb appeal of a home or business. Additionally, a black metal roof (like many dark colors) offers excellent energy efficiency by absorbing heat, which can help reduce heating costs in colder climates. Metal’s natural solar reflectance also enables dark roofs to still feature energy efficiency and cool roof certifications typically only reached through light colored roofs when using other roofing materials in warmer climates.
  2. Earthy Tones: Colors like deep browns, forest greens, and rustic reds are gaining popularity. These hues blend seamlessly with natural surroundings and provide a warm, inviting appearance.
  3. Cool Grays and Blues: Shades of gray and blue are trending for their modern, sleek look. These colors are particularly popular in urban settings and contemporary architectural designs.
  4. Bold and Vibrant: For those looking to make a statement, bold colors like bright reds, vibrant blues, and even metallic finishes are becoming more common. These colors can add a unique touch and enhance curb appeal.
  5. Matte Finishes: Matte finishes are trending as they offer a sophisticated, understated look. They reduce glare and provide a smooth, elegant appearance that many homeowners find appealing.
  6. Two-Tone Combinations: Combining two complementary colors can create a striking visual effect. This trend allows for greater customization and can highlight architectural features of the building.
  7. Direct Print: No paint here – just ink. Central States woodgrain siding panels give your home, business or project similar advantages as painted panels but with a distinct natural look of woodgrain or color that you choose.
