House colors with slate gray roof.

We suggest that you view a roofing display or several shingles to get a better idea of the actual color. 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. White is a conventional traditional color to paint a house. You should also consider the pattern and texture of your shingles as well as the color.

White and grey are both neutrals. Browse the warm colors tab to find a selection of siding in vibrant warm hues or explore. White is added to black to create grey. This simple palette works best with more traditional style homes but can work well with some modern styles as well.

If all white is a bit too much you can also go with another light neutral like cream or soft beige with a crisp white trim for a little more contrast. Always mix patterns with care especially if the color of the facing and the roofing shingles being considered already contrast with each other. A black door also makes a classy and fitting centerpiece to the ensemble. An all white house with a gray roof is a truly classic look.

To accurately judge your shingle and color choice we recommend that you view it on an actual roof with a pitch similar to your own roof prior to making your final. For a roof with shingles in a cool color like black or slate gray select a cool color of siding such as blue gray or green.
