Most asphalt shingles come in a handful of color families: black and charcoal, grays, gray-browns, browns, tans, and a few greens, blues and reds. Each brand gives its own name to each shade. Below are the families with the names the big brands use, what people pick most, and how to match a roof to your house. Then try any color on a photo of your own roof.
The shingle color families
Each family, with brand names that sit in it. Names are brand-specific: the same name can look different from brand to brand.
1
Black and charcoal
The darkest roofs. GAF Charcoal, Owens Corning Onyx Black, CertainTeed Moire Black.
2
Gray
From light to dark: Owens Corning Sierra Gray, Estate Gray, Slatestone Gray and Williamsburg Gray; GAF Oyster Gray, Pewter Gray and Slate; CertainTeed Georgetown Gray, Cobblestone Gray and Pewter.
3
Gray-brown
The in-between blends: GAF and CertainTeed Weathered Wood, TAMKO Weathered Wood, Owens Corning Driftwood.
4
Brown
GAF Barkwood, Mission Brown, Shakewood and Hickory; Owens Corning Teak, Brownwood and Peppercorn; CertainTeed Resawn Shake.
5
Tan and beige
GAF Driftwood and Sierra Sand; Owens Corning Sand Castle and Desert Tan (Supreme and Oakridge); TAMKO Desert Sand.
6
Green, blue and red
Green: GAF Hunter Green, Owens Corning Chateau Green and Evergreen Mist, CertainTeed Evergreen. Blue: GAF Biscayne Blue, Owens Corning Harbor Blue and Pacific Wave, CertainTeed Coastal Blue. Red: GAF Patriot Red and Sunset Brick, Owens Corning Terra Cotta, CertainTeed Burnt Sienna and Red Oak.
The most popular shingle colors
Grays, charcoal and gray-browns lead. GAF says its top sellers are Charcoal, Weathered Wood and Pewter Gray. Owens Corning promotes a Color of the Year; recent picks include Williamsburg Gray, Midnight Plum and Evergreen Mist (2026).
These lists come from manufacturers. No independent sales ranking is published. Neutral colors are the safe choice if you may sell the house, but pick what suits your house and street.
How to match a roof to your house
Start from what you will not change: brick, stone, siding and trim.
1
Red or orange brick
Charcoal, black and gray let the brick stand out; browns and Weathered Wood echo it.
2
White house
Black or charcoal is the classic. Gray is quieter, brown is warmer.
3
Beige, tan or cream
Browns and gray-browns feel natural. Charcoal gives more contrast.
4
Gray or blue siding
Charcoal, Pewter-type grays and slate blues keep it cool. Weathered Wood warms it up.
5
Climate
Dark roofs absorb more heat; light roofs reflect more. In hot areas look at light colors or cool-roof 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 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.
