Metal Roof Color Suggestions Needed

13 days ago

Hi, we’re replacing our concrete tile roof with standing-seam metal and would appreciate your color suggestions. We’re currently considering medium or dark bronze, zinc grey, or matte black. Our roof doesn’t get much sun through the trees.

Thank you!

Why are you replacing the tile? I like the tile roof but if it has to be changed I would go bronze.

We need something that will shed snow as we’ve had up to 7-ft accumulations on our tile roof.

I am near the water in FL and many of the new homes have the bronze/brown metal roofs and they look really nice. The bronze looks much nicer than the gray/stainless colors.
