Driftwood is one of the most searched shingle colors, and also one of the most confusing, because each brand's Driftwood is a different shade. Owens Corning's is a medium neutral brown with sage and golden tan in the blend. GAF's sits in its beige and gold family. Below is what each brand means by Driftwood, how it compares with Weathered Wood, and what it suits. Then try it on a photo of your own roof.
Who makes Driftwood shingles
Driftwood is a color name, used by several brands for different shades.
1
Owens Corning Driftwood
In TruDefinition Duration, Supreme and Oakridge. A medium neutral brown blend with dark and medium brown, sage green and golden tan granules.
2
GAF Timberline HDZ Driftwood
A regional color, listed in GAF's beige and gold family, so lighter and warmer than most gray-browns. GAF suggests it for red brick with light trim. Check whether it is sold in your area.
3
CertainTeed Driftwood
Listed in the Landmark and Landmark Max Def lines in CertainTeed's brochure. Check the current shade at a supplier.
4
Not a Driftwood
TAMKO's Titan XT list has no Driftwood. Some synthetic shake brands sell a "driftwood" shake; that is a different material from asphalt shingles.
Is Driftwood gray or brown?
Both, depending on the brand and the light. Owens Corning's Driftwood reads as a soft brown with a green-gray cast in shade; GAF's reads lighter and more beige. In full sun both look lighter than the swatch.
This is why the tool offers two Driftwood looks. Try both on your house, then hold a real sample next to your siding.
Driftwood vs Weathered Wood
The two colors people compare most.
1
Driftwood
Browner and lighter, often with tan and sage in the blend. Warm and soft.
2
Weathered Wood
A neutral gray-brown blend (GAF, CertainTeed, TAMKO). Grayer and a little darker. Owens Corning has no Weathered Wood; its nearest are Driftwood and Teak.
3
How to choose
Cooler siding (gray, blue, white) often suits Weathered Wood. Warm siding, cream and tan brick often suit Driftwood. Try both on your own photo.
What Driftwood goes with
Red brick with light or white trim, cream and white siding, soft blue siding, tan stone. It can look washed out on a very light beige house; compare it with Teak or a darker brown.
Before you order
A picture helps you choose a direction. These checks help you choose the actual shingle.
1
Look at a real sample in daylight
A roof looks lighter in full sun and darker in shade, and a small swatch looks different from a whole roof. Ask your roofer or supplier for a sample board and hold it next to your siding or brick outside.
2
Availability varies by area
Manufacturers sell some colors only in some regions, and the list can change. Ask a local supplier which colors they stock before you fall for one.
3
Color names are brand-specific
A Driftwood or a Pewter from one brand is not the same color as one with the same name from another brand. Always say the brand, the product line and the color name together.
4
Check HOA rules
Many homeowner associations approve roof colors. Ask before you order, and bring the picture with you.
5
Think about climate
Dark roofs absorb more heat, light roofs reflect more. In hot areas ask about "cool" or reflective shingles.
Get a local quote
Save your before and after picture and take it to two or three local roofers when you ask for quotes. Tell each one the brand, the product line and the color name you want, for example "Owens Corning Duration, Driftwood" or "GAF Timberline HDZ, Charcoal".
Ask each roofer to bring a sample of Driftwood from the brand you want and to confirm it is stocked in your area. A picture of your own house makes it easy for them to see what you mean.
Honest limits
The tool draws an approximation of each color from a description of its tone. It is not the manufacturer's swatch, and the shingle pattern is a general architectural or 3-tab look, not a specific product.
It is a preview, not a quote, a survey, or a check of what your roof can carry. It does not measure the roof or give prices.
Roof-like cladding on walls, such as hung tiles on a gable, can change along with the roof. Compare the result with your photo.
