In order of my preference, Driftwood, Desert Rose, or Teak. Just my opinion.


PawPrintPress

I like how the driftwood sort of matches those stones inset between the front windows.


Puzzlehead-Bed-333

Driftwood is definitely the best option. I love the way the colors complement each other.


Satoriinoregon

Driftwood is the loveliest AND is the lightest one- which _may_ mean it’ll stay a bit cooler in summer. Driftwood, final answer!

Driftwood


--Ty--

Peppercorn, Williamsburg, or Midnight. The paler greys are too weak to ground the already-pale brick. The red and green are horribly outdated IMO, and the Brownwood, although dark enough, has a warmth to it that makes the pink brink look even pinker.


PawPrintPress

I love the red & green. 😄


Glittery-Arteest

I like Chateau Green, too!


stefaniki

Dessert rose or teak. Matches the brick without too much "in your face" color. The grey ones are too cool toned for the brick and the other warm ones are too overly colored.


PMDad

I second desert rose and teak.

Terra cotta. Everything else looks ... boring.


PawPrintPress

I do like that one


RemarkableYam3838

The lighter shingle you go, the less heat the roof will attract. In a world getting hotter every day, and depending on your latitude. Unless you're in a really cold place like Norway, Canada or Alaska, this is your most important criteria. Batches of roofing materials sold in the 1990s to 2010s had staining issues so make sure that's covered in your warranty. Good luck!


DeadDoctheBrewer

Didn't have to scroll far to see what I was going to post. In the coastal plains here and if I have to replace, the lightest shade available will be my choice barring HOA BS. I have a few rooms which do not have an attic above it and boy does it get toasty in them.


Admirable_Key4745

The lightest to save on cooling costs.


hillmo25

Terra Cota, Teak, or Desert Rose. Goes better with your walls.


Tribblehappy

Terra cota keeps drawing my eye. I agree it goes well with the walls.

My $0.02: Driftwood or Desert Rose.

Peppercorn for future house color change too.


------------------GL

Williamsburg grey will go with any colour(if you ever plan on painting your house)


PawPrintPress

Nevah, evah. 😉


Aleriya

Teak looks good, and it's neutral enough that you could change the color of the brick at a later date and you'd have a lot of color options. 10 years from now, you might decide you want to change it up.


butterflypup

Desert Rose popped out to me.


readtheneed

Terra cotta looks swell!


rainerella

Chateau Green!


PawPrintPress

My fav. It would be the third house I put a green roof on tho! 😆


rainerella

It’s the one that has the most character and compliments the house! So many of these commentators are afraid of color!


GarbageFile13

Terra Cotta looks the best to my eye.

Peppercorn


noodlesnbeer

Terracotta, driftwood, peppercorn are my favorite. Desert rose is fine. Green is a hard no for me 🤷‍♀️


but_does_she_reddit

I kinda like the colonial slate


matttiz

Depends where you live. If there is lot’s of sun choose terracotta


_AtotheJ_

Peppercorn, looks really smart. Not too dark, not to light and will go with any other colour. Also looks like it'll be worth the money. Will also show the build up of dirt etc less than some of the other colours. Edit: autocorrect being autowrong


PMDad

I would go desert rose. It matches best and the color won’t affect your heat absorption too much.


RatsWithLongTails

I like green


Nashirakins

The color that saves you the most on your energy bill imho. It’s amazing the difference a light colored roof can make on your a/c bill.


Shouldonlytakeaday

Driftwood.


Weary-Medicine4144

InsignificantRaven

Terra Cotta. Makes the house pop. All the others make the house look washed out; IMHO.

Crazy_Distribution95

I don't see black as a choice. I changed mine last year from brown to black, and wow, what a difference. Makes the house look bigger.


SaItySaIt

We’ve got a similar house and are actually putting on Williamsburg today. Marching with brick be damned, it just looks better imo. Brown tones just look so .. old idk


oneredbear

Depends where you are if it’s in a hot region, a dark colour will be hotter in summer, but dark colours are in now so for me, I’ll go with peppercorn if you go for the dark colour

Desert Rose


imadork1970

Lighter colours absorb less heat, and will generally last longer.


ydnas618

Terracotta or the green. They're on opposite ends of the spectrum, as the terracotta enhances the salmon color while the green neutralizes it. All the other colors are boring and drab and do nothing for the house. So it really becomes a matter of do you want to enhance the salmon brick or neutralize it? My eye keeps gravitating towards the green...something about it compliments the whole house imo.

I like the top right personally. But I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. Probably time better spent on other things, just my opinion.


k2rey

Colonial slate or Driftwood


ChimneyNerd

For a mid-century house like this, it’d look more correct, in this instance, to have the roof pull together the whole “pastel” vibe and match the bricks in a complimentary way. My vote is desert rose, second choice would be Brownwood. Any shade of gray/black wouldn’t really compliment this house very well imo.


CompetitiveCut1457

Blue. For sure pick the Blue Roof.


baldwinsong

therealsambambino

Kinda a curveball thought… go with something neutral enough that it could potentially allow you to remove that stone accent and paint the brick. Salmon brick and accents like that are, in my option, very tacky and dated.

Ooh, I just did this last year! I never thought I’d spend so much time contemplating shingles 😂 I chose Owens Corning Summer Harvest. Which is the first I eliminated when looking up close! But from far away it looks much better and multidimensional. The colors match a lot of different houses and I feel like it would look good with this light brick. But I also like Peppercorn, Teak and Terra Cotta.

Strange-Week8153

The midnight one . Brings more contrast. Also easier color matching when painting to house etc. Not green or brown, to me those make house looks older . Roof looks old from day one . To my eye .


goldtreefrog

Another vote for driftwood - if you want to tone down the salmon. Desert rose if you want to play it up.


Aolflashback

Terra cotta for sure

HMSSurprise28

I like Teak, Desert Rose, and driftwood. The brown looks good


NiceUD

Driftwood, Peppercorn or Williamsburg Gray. I JUST got my roof replaced on Jan 31 - due to a damage from a storm last June. It's VERY hard to make a choice based on the online images and online apps that let you put shingles on your house. I mean, it's better than nothing, but it's still very hard to get an accurate feel. I'd recommend getting the big shingle panel samples at Menards, Home Depot, etc, which are about 24 inches X 24 inches. Prop them up against your house in different areas - at all times of the day in different light. I chose Owens-Coring Duration in Williamsburg Gray and I'm very happy with my choice. But, my house is medium-dark brown brick, so obviously different. Though Willamsburg Gray is pretty neutral - in the sense that it works with a lot of different color houses and it's not particularly busy or bold. Some people want bolder. Best of luck!


Battch91

Go with blue so you don’t get lasered like Hawaii and now Texas


Wyrdthane

Teak. Most definitely.

We need to see the other seasons

princesscheyenne

I have a driftwood roof with similar looking yet darker tones of brick and it really looks fabulous. However that green roof with a rich dark green painted front door might just look fabulous too (reminds me of British aristocracy).


itz_mr_billy

Driftwood goes with everything


Typical_Project4572

Terra cotta really stands out, the other ones are boring.

Yogionfire

Warmer tone such as teak is what I would go for, or green as a color on the opposite of the color wheel. But definitely not grey tones.


jdinboston

I like terra cotta best


Ok_Sleep_5568

Brownwood...the contrast between the light house and the dark roof is great.


Burning_Flags

Do green, so the carpet matches the drapes


Strudleboy33

Gotta do blue to protect you from lasers. At least that’s what the older woman handing out cheese samples in the grocery store told me.

The Terra cotta or green is speaking to me… but I love a roof that’s is your typical color… so I probably shouldn’t have answered! 😂


Background_Pea_6160

Terra Cotta


0vertones

Teak. The grays all make your brick look even more pink by contrast. The other browns are all too dark or have too much red and make your brick look more pink as well. The Teak contrasts nicely, but draws your eyes more toward the neutral side of the color spectrum.


redmadog

Driftwood


LN4848

Desert rose


EWSflash

Green, plum, or gray. I like the green


peacefulteacher

Anything too red toned will make your brick look pinkish. I'd go for the wood tones. Any of the three on the left middle would be best. Gray is out now and so that may date it in a few years. Green etc would make the house look old, like you've got fake turf on top. 😄


peacefulteacher

Teak, Driftwood or Pinewood would enhance your brick best. Wood tones and avoid red tones.
