Cedar Color Choices

Selecting a roof color is an important decision. The shade you choose can enhance your home and complement your property's unique features and design elements. You'll want to consider specific aspects of your home, such as brick features, the desired feel and colors that complement any existing shades before choosing a roof color. 

​

Additionally, cedar shingles come in white and red varieties. Red cedar shingles have a tighter grain, contain tannic acid, are durable and have limited color-changing options due to their low absorption rate. They also weather to a rich, dark color many homeowners find appealing. White cedar shingles have a wider grain, possess a lower tannic acid level, weather to a uniform silver color and offer color flexibility if you want to stain them. However, white shingles are less durable than the red variety.

Cedar roof color choices from Cedar Roof Coatings include:

​

• Cedar Tone: This color choice is our most popular, and the reddish-brown colors are beautiful in the shining sun. This cedar shingle type offers a more rustic appearance for your home, and many inland houses feature this desirable look. 

• Butternut: Our Butternut color has red hues and bright undertones. This color is ideal for creating an elegant contrast on lighter-colored homes. 

• Slate Gray: This color is an excellent choice for people wanting a more subdued look. Slate Gray doesn't have the vibrancy of our other color options, empowering homeowners to enhance their homes with a more muted tone. Grays blend well with a variety of different shades, allowing you to get creative with exterior paint while maintaining the same beautiful roof over time. 

• Clear: The Clear option offers a very natural look for homeowners wanting to highlight the wood's features. Whether you want to create a more rustic appearance or desire a beautiful complement to your modern home, a clear shingle finish will look stunning.
