what grey roof shingles go with white paint

13 days ago

I'm building a home that is a gothic farmhouse design and trying to decide on a clean white paint, maybe SW Pure White or perhaps a very light gray/green color. I'm mostly having trouble deciding on the roof shingles, rather to go with light gray, med gray, or charcoal. Any suggestions?

Context is key and there is more to a home in the way of colors than the roof and the white siding.

Can you post a pic of the home's exterior design?

Gray singles (medium to light) always look good on a house. It has always struck me as the most “neutral”.
