6 Beige House and Roof Color Combinations to Add Elegance and Style to Your Façade

Maybe you’re ready to dole out the full cost to replace your roof but are stuck on what color it should be to guarantee it’s a perfect match for your beige home. Luckily, beige is a neutral that pairs well with a range of colors—some more dramatic than others—so it’s just a matter of selecting the right roof shade to match your existing beige. Choose from our selection of beige house and roof color combinations below, or talk to a local exterior painting expert to explore your options.

Choosing brown as your shingle color is not only visually appealing, offering a subtle but eye-catching contrast to your beige home, but it’s also practical. Brown can hide imperfections and stains from algae, rust, and more. These stains are perceptible if you have a black roof, but the organic color of brown helps to camouflage them.

A gray slate roof gives an earthy beige grounded, organic vibes, and it easily blends with all kinds of landscaping. This combo, especially when paired with white trim, is very popular on stately homes in New England. Just imagine how lovely these colors will look when the leaves change every autumn.

Because green is a bold roof color choice, ensure your home is a creamy beige before buying this hue. This will draw the eye upward, making your home look taller without creating a less-than-attractive clash. Both dark forest greens and lighter, more lime-hued greens pair well with beige.

Emphasize the warm, Mediterranean vibes that terra cotta tiles exude by pairing them with warm-toned beiges in mushroom, sand, and tan shades. Greige—a mix of beige and gray—homes also look excellent with a terra cotta-colored roof. This combo is one that helps elaborate landscaping take center stage.

The tuxedo look of a black roof paired with a white home is stunning, but the same can be said of black and beige. Beige is a bit softer than white, but it still allows the black roof to pop. You can opt for a very light eggshell beige or one that’s more cream-colored; either hue works. Darker roofs are useful for those who live in cold climates, as the roof will absorb more warmth from the sun and keep your house cozy during the winter months.

A red roof doesn’t have to make your home look like a barn (unless that’s the look you’re going for). Paired with a light, sandy shade of beige, your red roof will serve as a complementary accent and feel regal and refined. This color combo is popular in Southern California, where Spanish Mission-style homes are bountiful.
