With so many options to choose from these days, picking the right color shingles for your homes' roof can be a challenge. Trinity is a proud certified partner with GAF, one of the largest residential shingle manufacturers.

When looking at the color options, be sure to consider the color of your home. Whether your home has siding, cement or wood, we recommend coming up with a palette of complimentary colors, with a bit of contrast. You don't want it to match per se but it should complement the existing colors of your house including the windows and doors.

Genevieve Gorder from HGTV put together a cool guide for choosing the right shingle color for your roof.
