Can Someone Change My Roof Color?

[Old Moparz]

Several days ago I posted a question about roofing costs. Charger Fan posted a photo of a log home with a metal roof in that thread that looked really nice. I had been thinking about changing the color of my roof, even considering a metal roof, but not sure how it would look.

Can any of you guys who play around with the photoshop program or other programs to change car colors, change the roof color too?

I'll probably keep the house brown, but wanted to see what roof colors go nicely with the dark brown. I liked the green metal roof in Charger Fan's pic, as well as the standard metal roof colors I see like red, blue, or maybe some others.

Thanks to anyone who can show me some options. 

Here's the best photo I have handy.

    The best I could do would be to pee on your roof to change the color.    Sorry     Nice place you got there Old-M.     Since you get snow a metal roof would be better I would think.

Go with a white roof and get some Obama cash in your next tax filing.   

Wait, after further research, maybe a reflective metal roof would be better.

"This week , the U.S. Secretary of Energy encouraged Americans to paint their roofs white, in an effort to reduce global warming by both conserving energy and reflecting sunlight back into space. Speaking in London prior to an international summit on combating climate change, Dr. Chu said that the simple act of painting roofs white could have a dramatic impact on the amount of energy used to keep buildings comfortable.

A white roof is a good idea, but a highly reflective metal roof is even better. New technologies allow even darker colored metal roofs to absorb less heat through the use of highly reflective pigments that reflect solar energy.

"The EPA reports that $40 billion is spent annually in the United States to cool buildings. That's an extraordinary amount of money," states Tom Black, executive director of the non-profit Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA). "We applaud Dr. Chu's intent, however in reality; white roofs aren't feasible for most homeowners. Curb appeal rules. The good news is that highly reflective residential metal roofing is available in a wide variety of styles and colors to suit any home."

The MRA was formed to answer homeowners and contractors' questions about residential metal roofing, including their energy benefits and environmental impact. For more information, visit http://www.metalroofing.com/ "

Ten bucks says you'll slide down the 45 degree angle & piss all over yourself before you land on the deck with a thud.   


Nobody wants to change the color? 

Oh well.
