Roof shingle colors

Before and after examples

Example images are AI-generated: both the sample houses and their redesigns. Results change from render to render, so treat them as concepts, not exact product matches.

AI-drawn stand-in of a two-story house with red brick on the first floor, beige siding above — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the faded light brown roof and the porch roof became a dark gray. The red brick, the beige siding, the green door, the windows and the lawn stayed. What it got wrong: we asked for a faint purple undertone, but the purple shows only as one bright patch near the right edge of the roof. The color is the model's guess; it is not CertainTeed Colonial Slate. We ran the request once.

The same house with a dark gray shingle roof and porch roof; the red brick, the beige siding — Example 1 (prompt 1 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the faded light brown roof and the porch roof became a dark gray. The red brick, the beige siding, the green door, the windows and the lawn stayed. What it got wrong: we asked for a faint purple undertone, but the purple shows only as one bright patch near the right edge of the roof. The color is the model's guess; it is not CertainTeed Colonial Slate. We ran the request once.

AI-drawn stand-in of a navy blue-sided cape cod house with white trim, two dormers — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the streaky black roof became a lighter medium gray. The navy siding, the white trim, the dormers, the door and the lawn stayed. What it got wrong: light streaks still run down the new roof. We used plain words, so this is not CertainTeed Georgetown Gray. We ran it twice: the first run left the old streaks on the new roof, so we added "clean and even all over, with no stains, streaks, moss or old shingles left" to the prompt, and we show the second run.

The same house with a lighter gray shingle roof; the navy siding, the dormers, the white trim and the lawn kept — Example 2 (prompt 2 below; the before is an AI-drawn stand-in house, not a real photo): the streaky black roof became a lighter medium gray. The navy siding, the white trim, the dormers, the door and the lawn stayed. What it got wrong: light streaks still run down the new roof. We used plain words, so this is not CertainTeed Georgetown Gray. We ran it twice: the first run left the old streaks on the new roof, so we added "clean and even all over, with no stains, streaks, moss or old shingles left" to the prompt, and we show the second run.

How to use this list

These are color names, not pictures of the product. The names below come from CertainTeed's Landmark product page and its April 2023 national sell sheet. CertainTeed gives few written descriptions of each color, so we list names only and do not guess what each looks like. We show no product photos.

Our two example roofs are not CertainTeed colors. They were made by an AI model from plain color words. They help you judge a light, medium or dark roof on a house, not a named shingle. We did not find sales data on which colors sell most, so this list is not a ranking.

Landmark colors on the product page

CertainTeed's Landmark page lists 21 colors: Black Walnut, Burnt Sienna, Charcoal Black, Cinder Black, Cobblestone Gray, Colonial Slate, Driftwood, Georgetown Gray, Granite Gray, Heather Blend, Moire Black, Mojave Tan, Painted Desert, Pewter, Pewterwood, Resawn Shake, Silver Birch, Sunrise Cedar, Terra Cotta, Thunderstorm Gray and Weathered Wood.

National or regional?

The April 2023 national sell sheet we read lists only 12 of those 21 colors, and marks Silver Birch as not available in all areas. The other nine are probably sold only in some regions, but CertainTeed does not say so on the pages we read, so ask a local supplier.

Hunter Green was on the 2023 sheet but is not on the current product page.

Landmark, Landmark PRO and Presidential

Landmark is one of several CertainTeed shingle lines. Landmark PRO and Presidential have their own color lists, and CertainTeed uses its "Max Def" color name only for Landmark PRO. If a roofer quotes a CertainTeed color, ask which line it is from. CertainTeed also offers its own ColorView tool for its colors.

Light, medium or dark roof?

CertainTeed's list runs from blacks (Moire Black, Cinder Black, Charcoal Black) through grays (Georgetown Gray, Granite Gray, Pewter) to browns and warm blends (Weathered Wood, Burnt Sienna, Sunrise Cedar), going by the names alone. Start with what you cannot change, the brick, the stone and the siding, then pick the roof. For more on this step, see roof and siding color combinations, exterior house colors with a black roof, with a gray roof and with a brown roof.

How to check a color before you order

Narrow it down online, then see the color for real. A color on a screen is never exact, so ask your roofer for a real shingle sample.
Look at an installed roof in daylight. A blend of granules can read lighter, darker or warmer from the street than on a small sample.
Check availability. Only 12 of the 21 Landmark colors are on CertainTeed's national sell sheet we read, so ask a local supplier which colors are sold near you.
Preview the depth on your house. Upload a photo in the tool at the top of this page, or use the roof visualizer, to compare a light, medium and dark roof before you pick a named color.

Two examples, and what the AI changed

The examples were run directly on an image model, not through the tool above, so your results will look different. The live tool may use a different model and settings from the ones we used (we used 4 processing steps). The roof colors are the model's reading of plain color words, not CertainTeed colors.

Light brown to dark gray. Example 1 replaces the main roof and the porch roof on a brick and siding house. The purple undertone we asked for came out as a single patch.
Black to medium gray. Example 2 lightens the roof on a navy cape cod. Even after a second run, streaks remain.

The exact prompts behind the examples

These are the edit prompts, word for word. Change the color words and the list of what stays to suit your house.

Prompt 1: dark gray-black with a faint purple undertone

Replace only the roof shingles with new architectural asphalt shingles in a dark gray-black blend with a faint purple undertone. Keep the brick, the beige siding, the trim, the windows, the front door, the gutters, the lawn, the sky and the camera angle exactly the same

Prompt 2: medium gray shingles

Replace only the roof shingles with new architectural asphalt shingles in a medium gray blend, clean and even all over, with no stains, streaks, moss or old shingles left. Keep the navy siding, the dormers, the trim, the windows, the front door, the gutters, the lawn, the sky and the camera angle exactly the same

Frequently asked questions

What colors does CertainTeed Landmark come in?

CertainTeed's Landmark page lists 21 colors, from Black Walnut to Weathered Wood. Its national sell sheet we read lists only 12 of them, so some are probably regional. Ask a local supplier.

Is Hunter Green still available?

Hunter Green was on CertainTeed's 2023 Landmark sell sheet but is not on the current product page we read. Ask your supplier whether it can still be ordered.

What is Max Def?

CertainTeed uses the Max Def name only for colors in its Landmark PRO line. A Landmark color is not a Max Def color, even if the name is similar.

Is Weathered Wood the same in every brand?

No. CertainTeed, GAF, TAMKO and Malarkey all sell a color called Weathered Wood, and each one is a different blend. Compare real samples side by side.

Are the roofs in the pictures real CertainTeed colors?

No. The two examples were made by an AI model from plain color words. They are not CertainTeed products and do not match any named color. Not affiliated with CertainTeed. Colours are AI approximations; check real samples before you buy.

Can I see a new roof color on my own house?

Yes. Upload a photo of your house in the tool at the top of this page, describe the roof color in plain words and list what must stay the same. Use it to compare light, medium and dark roofs, then check real samples.

Is this tool free, and do I need an account?

Signing up is free and gives you 1 free render. Free renders carry an AiExterior watermark. You need to sign in with an email code or your Google account before a render starts. If you want more renders or clean images, paid plans are on the pricing page.
