Best Colors to use with a Black Roof

Overlooking your roof isn’t hard to do. While it’s a huge part of the exterior of your home, it’s rarely discussed when it comes to completing your home décor. If you have a black roof, try some of the following in your siding, trim, door or outdoor accessories.

Glidden Deserted Beach with black roof

Deserted Beach

Our most neutral option for roof-conscious design, Deserted Beach is a safe, smart choice for the outside of your home. Paired with dark brown or even white accents, Deserted Beach is best as a siding color, as it allows your roof and accessories to pop. It can, however, also be used as an accent itself, placing other neutral siding colors into additional design context. Sure to please in a number of different palettes, try this color for a quick, reliable updated exterior.Get Deserted Beach at the Home Depot
