Residential metal roofing is often made of steel, aluminum, or copper and comes in a wide variety of styles—such as shingles, tiles, shakes, and standing seam options that imitate wood. Plus, metal roofs boast fire-resistant durability, high energy efficiency, and last about 30 years longer than traditional asphalt roofs. The popularity of metal roof colors varies depending on which region of the country you live in, with lighter colors preferred in hotter climates and darker colors favored in colder locales.

Along with color coatings, natural metals like copper, steel, zinc, and aluminum are coveted by today’s homeowners. Here, the certified suppliers at Dixieland Metals of Alabama in Dothan shed light on the latest trends in metal roofing colors:      

• Terra Cotta Red: This vibrant shade is often implemented in Spanish colonial-style properties or farm houses with cream or brown exteriors.
• Green Patina: This unique hue looks similar to aged copper and is popular for large brick homes and estates.
• Charcoal Gray: Due to its neutral tone, charcoal gray metal roofing can complement homes with both light and dark exteriors.
• White: Commonly chosen for its high degree of energy efficiency, white metal can be 50 to 60 degrees cooler than a dark asphalt shingle roof in the summer.
• Blue Patina: Similar to green patina, blue patina replicates aged copper but with a less expensive price point. The patina on these colored metals lasts for many decades, while the color of real copper is less consistent as it ages.
