The roof is a very important part of the house that requires colouring. Simply just having a tile or tin roof is not enough. From the outside, it does not look aesthetic at all. It looks really visually disappearing to look at discoloured roof tiles.
The roof tiles need to be also looking good otherwise it mismatches the entire colour scheme of the house.
Here are the colours you can choose for your roof
- Dark colours
Dark coloured roof tiles are great. But dark colours also mean that they might absorb a lot of heat. Hence, in the summers the house might be heated up a lot, especially on the top floor. It is better that you choose black roof tiles only if your home is in a cooler city with a pleasant summer. Black tiles or grey
tiles for the roof are best suited for homes with white exteriors.

- Red
Red coloured tiles are also great if you have a coffee-coloured home.
