With so many different colors and styles of shingles
available, some homeowners struggle with making a
selection. Since the roof makes up such a large area of a
home’s exterior, the type of shingles a homeowner
chooses can have a drastic effect on the home’s overall
appearance. In fact, about 30 percent of a home’s exterior
is the roof. In order to make a good decision, there are a
number of things a homeowner should keep in mind when
evaluating different options for shingles.

3.  It’s a good idea to take a number of practical factors
into account when choosing a shingles color. Lighter
colored shingles will reflect heat, and are often a
good decision for homes in hot areas. Darker colored
shingles, on the other hand, absorb heat, and are
therefore a popular option in colder climates.
Additionally, consider the colors of the landscape
surrounding the home. A roof that blends in with the
surrounding area can create a seamless and
appealing look. On the other hand, avoid selecting
shingles that are the same color as the rest of the
home’s exterior. Some contrast tends to greatly
improve the home’s look.
