Tin roof colors: popular tints

Our metal roof customers have identified these colors below as the most popular choices.

Understandably, early residents chose red since rust blended with the roof panels.

Two contenders for most popular tint: green and grey

Green selections have dramatically increased in recent years. The reason is the manufacturers have overcome the chalking action associated with green and blue tints.

Grey color selection for tin roofs appear in three variations: light, medium and dark. For embossed tin shingle owners, light grey is popular. The darker version is usually called “slate grey”.

Virginia means black
