Houses With Dark Grey Roofs

Now here s the blending principle.

Houses with dark grey roofs.

Gray black darker shades of brown and some softer shades of green think celadon or grayish green can all look lovely with a red brick or similar home. For a more traditional look a sunny light yellow pairs beautifully with a light gray roof. A black door also makes a classy and fitting centerpiece to the ensemble. White trim white siding and white railings give this farmhouse spick and span appeal.

Gray can have undertones of blue green or violet. The dark paint finishes and white surfaces enhance the home s historic country profile and complement its river rock foundation. If you paint your house white and pair it with grey shingles on the roof paint the trim or shutters on your house grey as well.

The plainer the siding is the more a blended color pattern is needed to make your home look interesting and appealing. A solid black roof on a home with dark brown wood siding creates a boring combination. The same home with shingles that have a charcoal base but flecked with greens tans and browns would be far more appealing. Black a contrasting shade of gray white green or blue can all pair nicely with a gray brick or painted house.

A black painted gable vent and charcoal gray steps take their color cue from the home s metal roof. White and grey are both neutrals. For a more edgy look try a brighter yellow with a dark gray roof.
