In the world of residential metal roofing, 2023 is set to bring a combination of continuing and emerging color trends that mirror the changes in people's preferences and behavior. Residential design is adapting to changing priorities and new sources of inspiration that are influencing the construction and remodeling trends for the year. With that in mind, this blog takes a closer look at some of the latest color trends in metal roofing and what sets them apart from others.  

Color trends: what we’re seeing 

Gray, gray and more gray 
The number of grays offered continues to expand year over year. Gray is a neutral color that complements a wide range of home designs, making it a popular choice among homeowners.  The neutral tone of gray reduces color intensity to offer maximum integration with surrounding environments. These tones work exceptionally well when integrated with other building materials, such as stained or distressed wood. Additionally, the paint technology for metal roofing has advanced significantly, and gray metal roofs now come in various shades, providing homeowners with more options to enhance their home’s curb appeal.

The popularity of black hues continues to grow at unprecedented levels, most notably in metal roofing.  The sleek and modern appearance is eye-catching and provides a unique look for any property. As a rich focal point or a contrast, black continues to be the most popular color across various segments, including residential, agricultural, commercial and architectural applications. Simply put, black is timeless and will never go out of style, making this color a smart investment for those looking to add value to their home. Its understated appearance creates a sophisticated minimalist aesthetic, offering simplicity, neutrality and depth.
