Most popular shingle colors today include Charcoal, Weathered Wood, and Pewter Gray. Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a GAF Master Elite Roofing Contractor — a distinction held by fewer than 2% of roofers nationwide — and has completed 7,000+ installations since 2011 across 730+ towns in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Architectural style and existing siding tones often narrow the decision quickly.

What Homeowners Need to Know

Nine shade options: GAF Timberline HDZ shingles offer nine color choices, giving homeowners flexibility among the most popular shingle colors available today.
Charcoal stays versatile: Charcoal pairs with nearly every siding tone, which keeps it a steady favorite across New England neighborhoods.
Warm browns trending: Shades like Hickory and Mission Brown suit Colonial and Craftsman homes with warm-toned trim.
Texture adds dimension: Architectural shingles like Weathered Wood show more shadow and depth than flat three-tab designs.
Cool tones shine: Slate and Pewter Gray complement homes with stone accents or cooler-toned siding.
Investment stays modest: Asphalt shingles cost around $4.46 per square foot on average, making a color change an affordable upgrade.
