Metal Roofing Panel Colors & Finishes

Metal Roofing Panel Color Options

Metal roofing panel systems come in a wide variety of colors ranging from subtle hues of gray, brown and black; classic shades of green, burgundy, and tan; to vibrant shades of blue, copper, and galvalume. Color options vary by region, product, and gauge, so make sure to check availability for your project.

Painted Metal Roof Colors

Metal roofing panels are most commonly painted – with baked-on finishes that typically offer a 40-year paint warranty and 30-year fade/chalk warranty.

Reflecting up to 67% of the sun’s rays (depending on shade and coating), white metal roofing is popular in cold and hot climates, simple or upscale designs.

Burgundy

Found on farmhouses and cottages across America, Burgundy is typically matched to lighter siding such as light gray, white, and stone blends.

Gallery Blue

Specialty Metal Roof Colors

Moving beyond traditional, choosing Galvalume, galvanized, metallic, and HD coatings offer a unique appearance while maintaining the long life of a metal roof.

Copper Penny Metallic

Metallic finishes feature flakes of metal for a realistic metallic finish – Copper Penny is the most popular, though other metallics are available. Copper Penny blends with nearly any house design and color – versatile and unforgettable.

HD Texture

HD Textured Metal Roofing
Textured HD metal roofing finishes, also known by “Crinkle” or “Frost” offer a unique take on classic colors. The luxurious texture must be seen and felt to truly appreciate.

Rusty Look Painted

Rusty Look Painted Metal Roofing
For those that want the look of rusty metal roofing, without the staining, corroding and short-lifespan; painted metal roofing with a unique “rusty-metal-roof” look is the ticket.

Galvalume – Unpainted

Galvalume Metal Roof Finish
Galvalume is a long-lasting zinc-aluminum alloy spangle that offers superior corrosion resistance. Painted metal roof panels typically begin with Galvalume and are then primed and painted, but Galvalume alone looks amazing – from many angles it will look nearly white, in other angles more of a gray finish. Not as “shiny” as galvanized.

Galvanized – Unpainted

Galvanized Metal Roof Finish
Galvanized roofs are the original – a 100% zinc coating with spangles that vary in size and shape. Often chosen on corrugated or 5V-Crimp profiles, it also serves well for steakhouses, rustic log cabins, and more.
