nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted March 30, 2013 As some of you know, I'm planning on building a new bigger garage and was wondering what you think of color ideas. I'm going to go with "tan" to match the house, but haven't yet decided on the color shingles on the roof. As soon as the garage is done, I plan on putting a new rood on the house to match. I've always loved the colors of tan with an orange (terra cota) roof like you see all over Florida and southern California. I'm leaning that way, but not sure how it will fit in, in Ohio. I've been looking at 3D shingles from Owens-Corning (shown in the link below). SO.....Back to the question, what colors do you think are nice? Not really the pix I wanted but here's an idea of a tan house with Terra cota roof, What do you think? http://designeyeq.owenscorning.com/DesignTool/#/apply-products/Model=1/Zip=44101/Product=RFG-997342 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WildflowerNJ 136 Report post Posted March 30, 2013 Nurk, I think both are pretty. We are going for something different on our new garage.....a green metal roof. (We can both post pics of ours when they are done) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nel 71 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I like Merlot. Or, better yet, Summer Harvest. The shade I was looking at is a dark slate color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
