Roof Color FAQ (Southeast)
What is the most popular shingle color in the Southeast?
Weathered Wood and Charcoal/Black are the two most installed families. Weathered Wood pairs with brick and warm siding; Charcoal/Black maximizes contrast and hides valleys well.
Is there a difference between “Pewter Gray” and “Pewter”?
Yes—naming varies by brand. GAF uses Pewter Gray; Atlas/IKO often use Pewter. Both are mid-grays; sample boards show subtle differences in warmth and speckle.
Weathered Wood vs. Driftwood—how do I choose?
Weathered Wood leans brown/earthy; Driftwood trends cooler gray. Match to gutter, brick, and fascia colors; view both in sun and shade.
Do “cool” shingles really reduce attic temps?
Cool-rated colors (e.g., Atlas Pinnacle Sun/Cool) reflect more solar energy. Expect a modest improvement; combined with proper ventilation, you’ll see the best results.
What are the common PVDF metal roof colors in our region?
Charcoal, Matte Black, Burnished Slate, Galvalume Plus, Hartford Green, Roman/Gallery Blue, and Saddle/Light Stone are widely stocked in AL/GA.
Popular Shingle Lines We’re Asked About

- Marathon Plus AR (3-tab)
Atlas
