Color Trends in Roofing and Siding for 2025

July 30, 2025

Modern Meets Timeless

Choosing the right roofing and siding colors is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating a cohesive, long-lasting exterior that reflects your style and enhances your home’s value. At Paese Construction, we specialize in high-end exterior upgrades using premium materials from brands like GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, and James Hardie. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re seeing a shift in color preferences that balances modern sophistication with timeless appeal.


Here are the roofing and siding color trends homeowners should be watching and considering for their next upgrade.

Earth-Inspired Neutrals Are Taking Over

Neutral tones have always had staying power, but for 2025, there is a noticeable shift toward more grounded, earthy hues. In roofing, expect to see more warm grays, deep taupes, and browns replacing stark black and cool grays. These tones offer depth without drawing too much attention, blending beautifully with natural surroundings and suburban landscapes.


GAF’s “Weathered Wood” and CertainTeed’s “Driftwood” are popular choices that fit into this trend. These colors work especially well when paired with stonework, brick accents, or wood-toned trim, creating a seamless visual flow.


On the siding side, brands like James Hardie are leading the way with warm neutrals like “Cobble Stone” and “Monterey Taupe.” These offer homeowners the benefit of understated elegance with the versatility to match nearly any style of architecture.

Bold But Balanced Accent Colors

While neutrals dominate the main palette, many homeowners are looking to introduce subtle boldness through accent siding and trim. We’re seeing increased interest in saturated but muted colors, think slate blue, forest green, and deep burgundy.


These shades are often used strategically, applied to gables, dormers, or entryways to provide contrast without overpowering the entire exterior. Owens Corning’s “Pacific Wave” shingle color is a standout example, cool and confident, but not flashy.


Paired with neutral siding and crisp white or black trim, these deeper tones provide dimension and personality while maintaining the overall upscale look that high-end homeowners seek.

Matte Finishes for a Modern Look

Glossy finishes are falling out of favor. In 2025, matte is the preferred choice, especially for roofing materials and fiber cement siding. Matte finishes reduce glare, hide imperfections more effectively, and contribute to a more modern, understated appearance.


James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology comes in low-sheen options that are not only beautiful but engineered to resist fading. Combined with the durability of their fiber cement products, these finishes make a smart investment for homeowners who value both performance and aesthetics.

Monochromatic Designs Are Making a Statement

Monochromatic exteriors where siding, roofing, and trim all fall within the same color family are gaining traction among discerning homeowners. A charcoal gray roof with matching siding and black trim creates a sleek, contemporary look that stands out without relying on high contrast.


This approach works especially well on modern farmhouses, craftsman homes, and even traditional styles looking for a clean refresh. The key is texture and subtle variation in tone to avoid the look falling flat. Architectural shingles from CertainTeed or Owens Corning help add this needed depth and visual interest.

Climate-Conscious Color Selection

Color trends in 2025 are also being shaped by performance and energy efficiency. Lighter-colored roofs that reflect rather than absorb heat are increasingly sought after in warmer climates, while darker colors continue to appeal in northern regions for their ability to aid in heat retention.


Paese Construction helps clients choose roofing materials not only for appearance but for performance in the regional climate. Many of our preferred products are ENERGY STAR® rated, offering long-term value through lower energy bills and improved indoor comfort.

Choose Materials That Elevate the Design

No matter which color palette a homeowner prefers, the quality of the materials is what truly makes a difference. Paese Construction works exclusively with manufacturers known for durability, color retention, and performance under stress. Whether it’s GAF’s Lifetime Roofing System or James Hardie’s fiber cement siding with baked-on finishes, we only use materials that match the standard of the homes we work on.

Final Thoughts

Color trends may shift year to year, but quality, longevity, and timeless design never go out of style. Whether you are building new or updating an existing home, choosing the right color palette for your roof and siding is a chance to enhance curb appeal and increase property value. With professional guidance and premium materials, you can make selections that will stand the test of time.
