Available Colors: Estate Gray, Onyx Black, Brownwood, Desert Tan, Driftwood, Quarry Gray, and more.
TruDefinition Duration shingles provide a bold look that boosts curb appeal while offering excellent durability.

These designer colors add personality to any home. For instance, Sand Dune gives a sunlit appearance ideal for coastal or Mediterranean-style homes, while Pacific Wave offers a deep, sophisticated blue tone that works well with contemporary designs.

Available Colors: Flagstone, Estate Gray, Shasta White, Brownwood, Desert Tan.
Oakridge shingles are an excellent choice for those who want high-quality, beautiful shingles without the higher price of designer options. The Flagstone color, with its soft, neutral gray tones, is versatile and works well with most color schemes, while Brownwood provides a rustic, earthy appearance that complements wood and stone accents.
4. Supreme® Shingles

Features: Supreme shingles are lightweight and affordable three-tab shingles that offer solid protection and a clean, simple look.

If you’re looking for an economical option that doesn’t sacrifice style, Supreme shingles are a great fit. Their classic design and reliable construction make them ideal for rental properties, outbuildings, or those on a tight budget.
5. Berkshire® Collection Shingles
Best For: Homeowners seeking an elegant, slate-like appearance.
Features: The Berkshire Collection mimics the timeless look of natural slate with deep shadows and dimensional contours.
Available Colors: Canterbury Black, Colonial, Manchester Gray.
For homeowners who appreciate classic, high-end aesthetics, the Berkshire Collection provides an elegant, stately appearance. Canterbury Black offers a timeless appeal, while Manchester Gray creates a refined, subtle look. The Berkshire Collection shingles work exceptionally well with historic homes and luxury properties, offering an upscale, slate-like effect without the weight or expense of traditional slate.
Choosing the Right Shingle Color for Your Home
Selecting the right shingle color can make a substantial difference in your home’s appearance. Here are a few tips to help you choose the best match:
Consider Your Home’s Color Scheme: The color of your siding, shutters, and even landscaping can influence which roof color looks best. For a cohesive look, choose a shingle color that complements these elements.
Think About Your Environment: If you live in a warm climate, lighter colors like Shasta White reflect more sunlight, keeping your home cooler. For colder regions, darker shingles like Onyx Black may help absorb sunlight and retain warmth.
Match Your Home’s Architectural Style: Traditional homes often look best with classic colors like brown or gray, while modern homes can handle more striking options like Pacific Wave or Merlot.
Take Advantage of Owens Corning’s Visualizer Tool: Owens Corning provides a visualizer tool on their website, allowing homeowners to upload a photo of their home and preview different shingle colors and styles.
