At Craig Gouker Roofing, we’re excited to announce that Owens Corning has revealed Merlot as its 2025 Shingle Color of the Year. This bold and sophisticated color combines deep, warm tones with a rich, inviting look that can elevate the curb appeal of any home. Merlot’s unique blend of crimson, soft gray, oaky brown, and subtle purple undertones creates a harmonious yet striking aesthetic that complements a wide variety of architectural styles.
Why Merlot Is the Perfect Choice for Your Home
The Merlot shingle color offers more than just visual appeal—it’s a perfect mix of style, durability, and versatility. Here’s why Merlot is the ideal choice for your next roofing project:
Timeless Elegance: The deep, rich tones of Merlot bring an air of sophistication to any home, whether it’s a classic traditional house, a contemporary design, or a rustic farmhouse. The combination of earthy hues adds character and warmth, making your home stand out in the best way possible.
Versatility in Design: Merlot is a versatile color that pairs well with a variety of siding, trim, and exterior colors. Whether your home features neutral tones, soft pastels, or vibrant colors, Merlot shingles will complement your existing design elements while adding a touch of refinement.
Enhanced Curb Appeal: A new roof can significantly increase the visual appeal of your home, and Merlot is no exception. It creates an eye-catching focal point that boosts the aesthetic of your home, making it the talk of the neighborhood.
Long-Lasting Durability: In addition to its beauty, Merlot shingles are crafted with Owens Corning’s TruDefinition® Duration® Designer shingles. These shingles are designed to offer long-lasting durability, superior protection, and resistance to harsh weather conditions. With advanced technology like SureNail® Technology, your home will be protected from the elements, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Energy Efficiency: Merlot shingles from Owens Corning are not only visually appealing but also energy efficient. They feature reflective technology that helps reduce the heat absorbed by your roof, keeping your home cooler in the summer and potentially lowering your energy bills.
How to Incorporate Merlot Into Your Home’s Exterior
Merlot shingles pair beautifully with a variety of exterior designs. The deep tones look fantastic against light or neutral siding like white, beige, or soft grays, creating a striking contrast. For homes with warm tones like cream or taupe, Merlot blends seamlessly to create a welcoming atmosphere. To achieve a modern look, complement the rich color with black or charcoal trim for a bold, sophisticated statement. Whether your home is a traditional colonial or a sleek contemporary design, Merlot’s deep red and purple undertones enhance any architectural style.
