Which GAF color is most popular
By GAF's own account, Charcoal, Weathered Wood and Pewter Gray are its top sellers, with Barkwood and Shakewood close behind. That is GAF's claim, not an independent ranking.
For red brick, GAF suggests Charcoal, Weathered Wood, Driftwood with light trim, or Hunter Green with dark accents. On a white house, Charcoal is the classic pick and Pewter Gray the quieter one. Try two or three on your own photo.
In hot areas ask about GAF's Cool Series (Cool Barkwood, Cool Weathered Wood, Cool Antique Slate), which reflects more sunlight than standard shingles.
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 the GAF color you like 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.

GAF lists vary by region and change over time. Check the current list with a local supplier.
