Red House With Light Grey Roof

The red roof will make the house look outstanding.

Red house with light grey roof.

Just make sure the tone of the roof is a little different than the brick. If your house is made of wood or has steel or vinyl siding a green roof or a blend of green shades will work. This color roof is compatible with many house paint color. Pewter gray is a safe roofing color for a red brick house.

Gray goes with just about any shade of brick so you don t have to over think it too much. If the entire house is painted red off setting the color with shutters and a front door in a blackish shade of gray is elegant but. Gray and red look good together because they are the combination of bold and understated color. A muted shade of red like a blush or intense pink is visually appealing for home siding and bricks and can even make a medium gray roof more noticeable.

You should also consider the pattern and texture of your shingles as well as the color. There are lots of ways to get ideas and of course there are some standard or classic combinations that you should consider such as a black or gray roof with a white house or a black or slate gray roof with a red brick house color combination. Brown shingles are more appropriate. A more intense red like cherry will stand out on a house with light and dark gray bricks and a charcoal gray roof.

You want some contrast between the roof and home so either darker or lighter is fine. 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. Red roofs will also look good on gray houses or houses of stone with predominantly gray tints. Avoid using brown or shades of brown shingles on a gray house.

This simple palette works best with more traditional style homes but can work well with some modern styles as well. An all white house with a gray roof is a truly classic look. While your house may be light gray in color consider the building materials when selecting a roof color.
