The wrong roof color on a red brick home does not just look off. It quietly kills curb appeal and resale value at the same time.
Choosing what color roof goes with red brick is not guesswork. It depends on your brick’s undertone, your trim color, your home’s structure, and where you live.
Get it right and the exterior looks grounded, intentional, and polished. Get it wrong and even a high-quality roof install reads like a mismatch from the street.
This guide covers the roof colors that work best with red brick, the ones to avoid, and exactly why each combination succeeds or fails, from charcoal gray and black to weathered wood, slate blue, and beyond.
What Makes a Roof Color Work With Red Brick?
Red brick is not a single color. It ranges from orange-red and rust to deep burgundy, and each variation responds differently to the same roof color.
The roof accounts for up to 40% of a home’s visible exterior (IKO, 2024). That makes it the dominant color field a buyer, neighbor, or passerby sees first.
3 factors determine whether a roof color works:
- Brick undertone (warm orange-red vs. cool blue-red vs. neutral medium red)
- Roof material texture (granule asphalt vs. smooth metal vs. natural slate)
- Natural light exposure (north-facing vs. south-facing, sun intensity by region)
Per Zillow’s 2024 Paint and Exterior Color Analysis, homes with complementary exterior color schemes sold for an average of 1.6% more than comparable homes with clashing palettes. On a $350,000 home, that gap is roughly $5,600.
Getting the roof-to-brick pairing right is a financial decision as much as a design one. The criteria below set the foundation before any color gets chosen.
How to Identify Your Brick’s Undertone
Stand back from the facade in full daylight. Do not use photos or indoor light.
Warm undertone: brick shows orange, rust, or tan hints. Common in older colonial and ranch construction.
Cool undertone: brick reads with blue, purple, or true red saturation. Often found in deeper burgundy and dark red varieties.
Neutral undertone: classic medium red with no strong warm or cool shift. Most versatile. Accepts the widest range of roof colors.
Mortar color shifts the overall tone too. White or cream mortar pulls the facade cooler. Gray mortar reads neutral. Brown mortar reinforces warmth. Assess brick and mortar together, not separately.
How Roof Texture Affects Color Perception
Granule asphalt shingles scatter light. This softens the edge of any color, making even dark charcoal read slightly warmer than it looks on a sample card.
Metal roofing reflects light directly. The same charcoal on a standing seam metal roof reads sharper and colder than on asphalt. This matters most when pairing with warm orange-red brick.
Slate has natural tonal variation built in. Its multi-tone surface introduces depth that reduces the need for contrast from brick alone. A blue-gray slate paired with red brick creates a sophisticated exterior without high visual tension.
Which Roof Colors Go Best With Red Brick?
Charcoal gray is the most universally compatible roof color for red brick homes. It provides strong contrast without the starkness of pure black, works across warm and cool brick undertones, and reads as timeless rather than trendy.
CertainTeed’s Moire Black and Charcoal are the most frequently installed shingle colors on red brick houses specifically, according to roofing contractor data (VA Roofing, 2024). GAF’s Charcoal and Pewter Gray rank as top sellers across brick-dominated markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
| Roof Color | Best Brick Undertone | Visual Effect |
| Charcoal gray | Neutral and cool red brick | High contrast, sophisticated, universally safe |
| Black | Cool blue-red and burgundy | Maximum contrast, sharp and modern |
| Weathered wood / brown | Warm orange-red brick | Cohesive, earthy, low contrast |
| Slate blue / gray-blue | Cool undertone brick | Soft, refined, complements without competing |
| Tan / beige | Warm or neutral brick | Subtle, traditional, reduces visual weight |
Charcoal and Dark Gray Roofs
Charcoal shingles work because they sit in the cool-neutral range. They provide contrast against warm brick without introducing a competing color temperature.
GAF’s Charcoal and Pewter Gray are consistently ranked among the top sellers on brick homes in the Northeast. Owens Corning named Williamsburg Gray its Shingle Color of the Year for 2024, a nod to colonial and traditional architecture where red brick dominates.
One caution: very bright orange-red brick paired with cold charcoal can feel harsh. In that case, a slightly warmer dark gray (like GAF’s Barkwood or Pewter Gray) bridges the gap better than a pure cool charcoal.
Black Roofs
Black metal roofing was a top trend in 2023, and its appeal has continued into 2025 (DECRA Metal Roofing, 2024). It works particularly well on cool-undertone brick with deep burgundy or blue-red saturation.
The contrast is high. The result reads modern, grounded, and deliberate. Colonial homes and newly renovated brick farmhouses use this combination most effectively.
Avoid black on bright orange-red brick. The contrast becomes too abrupt, and the warm brick reads dirty rather than rich against the cold of a matte black surface.
Brown and Weathered Wood Roofs
GAF’s Weathered Wood has been a perennial best-seller for warm-toned brick homes. Its base of deep brown with clay and lighter brown accents pulls directly from the orange-red palette of warm brick.
- Creates a cohesive, earthy color story
- Low contrast keeps the brick as the visual anchor
- Works well on ranch homes where the roof pitch is low and less visible
- Pairs naturally with wood trim, brown shutters, and warm stone accents
Brown shades are one of the top-selling asphalt shingle categories across all major manufacturers (CertainTeed, Owens Corning, GAF) in warm-climate regions.
Slate Blue and Gray-Blue Roofs
GAF’s Pewter Gray, which carries a subtle blue hue, has a loyal following on red brick homes with heavy red saturation. It softens the visual intensity of the brick rather than competing with it.
This pairing suits: homes with white or cream trim, traditional and colonial architecture, and neighborhoods with HOA requirements for conservative palettes. Slate blue is also widely recognized as a strong resale-value choice (Saratoga Roofing Co., 2025).
Tan and Beige Roofs
Lighter than charcoal, quieter than brown. Tan and beige roofs reduce visual weight on the facade, which helps smaller homes avoid looking top-heavy.
Best suited for warm-undertone brick in high-sun climates. Lighter colors reflect more solar heat. The 2024 Kidd Roofing study noted that about 40% of homeowners now factor energy performance into their roof color decision, making lighter options a practical as well as aesthetic choice in southern climates.
The risk: tan on warm brick can produce a washed-out, low-definition exterior. Always add contrast through darker trim or a bold front door.
What Roof Colors Clash With Red Brick?
Most color mistakes with red brick come from one of 3 errors: matching the brick’s temperature instead of contrasting it, choosing colors that compete for attention, or selecting tones that age poorly in natural light.
Avoid these 4 combinations:
- Bright red or terracotta roofing: creates a muddy, monotone exterior with no contrast. The brick disappears into the roof. Terracotta clay tile is a frequent mistake on orange-red brick homes.
- Forest green on orange-red brick: on paper, green complements red on the color wheel. In practice, warm forest green and warm orange-red brick fight for dominance. The exterior reads unresolved. Deep, muted green works only on cooler, brown-red brick.
- Pure white roofing materials: too stark. Highlights aging or uneven brick surfaces and creates a clinical look that suits almost no architectural style.
- Yellow or gold shingles: warm brick already has yellow and orange pigment in it. A yellow roof pulls the same undertones out of the brick and produces a monochromatic yellow-orange read across the entire facade.
How Does Brick Undertone Change the Roof Color Decision?
The same charcoal roof can look perfect on one red brick home and flat on another. The difference is almost always undertone.
Brick with a warm undertone and brick with a cool undertone are fundamentally different color surfaces. Treating them the same way produces inconsistent results. Identifying the undertone is the first step, not an optional refinement.
Warm-Undertone Red Brick Roof Pairings
Warm red brick (orange, rust, terracotta hints) responds best to roof colors in the same temperature range.
Top pairings:
- Weathered wood brown (GAF, Owens Corning Brownwood)
- Tan or warm beige shingles
- Dark bronze metal roofing
- Warm dark gray (GAF Barkwood, not pure cool charcoal)
Avoid cool charcoal or matte black directly on bright orange-red brick. As noted by Saratoga Roofing Co. (2025), dark charcoal can create a harsh visual clash when paired with bright orange-toned brick specifically. A warm-brown transition shingle produces a far more resolved exterior.
Cool-Undertone Red Brick Roof Pairings
Cool brick (deep burgundy, blue-red, true crimson) has a completely different response. It tolerates and benefits from colder, sharper roof colors.
Best options for cool-undertone brick: charcoal gray, matte black, slate blue-gray, and dark forest green.
CertainTeed’s Moire Black and Charcoal dominate this category in practice. The combination of cool brick and a cool dark roof produces a sophisticated, high-contrast exterior that reads deliberately designed rather than accidental.
Warm brown roofs on cool brick look muddy and disconnected. The temperature conflict reads as a mistake, not a style choice.
How Does Roof Material Affect Color Choice for Red Brick Homes?
The same color behaves differently depending on what material it is applied to. Roof material selection and color selection are not separate decisions.
| Material | Color Behavior | Best Colors With Red Brick |
| Asphalt shingles | Granule texture softens and warms color | Charcoal, weathered wood, brown blends |
| Metal (standing seam) | Reflects light sharply, reads colder | Dark gray, charcoal, matte black |
| Natural slate | Multi-tone variation reduces contrast | Blue-gray, dark charcoal slate |
| Clay / Concrete tile | Heavy visual weight, opaque finish | Dark brown, weathered gray tile |
Metal roofing installations in the residential sector grew 18% year-over-year in the Gulf Coast region per the Metal Roofing Alliance’s 2024 market data. Black and dark charcoal standing seam metal are the dominant colors chosen for brick homes in that market.
Standing seam metal in dark gray or black works well with red brick, but the reflective surface means the color reads sharper and cooler than the sample suggests. Testing a large panel on the actual facade before committing avoids the most common installation regret.
Asphalt Shingles and Red Brick
Asphalt remains the most widely installed roofing material in North America. The granule surface creates a matte, textured finish that diffuses light and softens any color applied to it.
This texture benefit means charcoal asphalt shingles read less harsh against warm brick than charcoal metal does. The granule scatter effect introduces a subtle warmth that metal lacks.
GAF’s Timberline HDZ line offers over 30 color options including multi-tone blended shingles. Blended shingles (like Pewter Gray or Barkwood) tend to outperform flat single-tone colors in resale appeal because their visual depth mirrors the natural variation of brick itself (Ridgeline Construction, 2025).
Metal Roofing and Red Brick
Black metal roofing was the dominant residential trend in 2023 and maintained strong momentum into 2024 and 2025 (DECRA Metal Roofing, ASC Building Products). The contrast between matte black metal and classic red brick is one of the strongest pairings available in exterior design.
3 considerations specific to metal on brick homes:
- Standing seam panels reflect light directionally. The roof reads lighter in morning light and darker at midday.
- Dark metal absorbs more heat. In high-sun climates, this affects cooling costs. In northern climates, it aids winter heat retention.
- Metal color options are narrower than asphalt. Matching a specific undertone is harder, so test large samples on-site.
What Roof Color Works With Red Brick and White Trim?
White trim is the most common pairing on red brick homes. It raises the contrast baseline of the entire exterior, which changes what the roof needs to do visually.
Without white trim, the roof only needs to work with the brick. With white trim added, the roof becomes the anchor of a 3-color system. It must ground both the brick and the bright trim without competing with either.
Charcoal and black roofs do this most effectively. The tricolor scheme of charcoal roof, red brick, and white trim is a widely recognized exterior formula. It is used consistently in Colonial, Craftsman, and transitional home styles across the U.S.
Why Dark Roofs Work Best With White Trim and Red Brick
White trim pushes brightness into the top and base of the facade. Without a dark roof to anchor the composition, the exterior floats visually.
Charcoal gray grounds the roofline, creates a visual stopping point above the brick, and lets the white trim define window and door edges cleanly.
Black produces the same anchoring effect with more drama. Well suited to stately Colonial homes and modern-transitional brick builds where strong contrast is intentional.
Medium gray is the color to avoid in this three-element combination. It lacks the definition to anchor the white trim and reads flat against the warmth of the brick. The result is a washed-out exterior where no element stands out.
How Roof Color Anchors White Trim Visually
Think of the exterior in terms of the 60-30-10 color rule: brick as the dominant surface (roughly 60%), roof as secondary (roughly 30%), and trim as the accent (roughly 10%).
When the roof is dark and the trim is white, the 30% secondary field grounds the composition. The 10% accent trim sharpens edges. The brick reads richly in between.
Reversing this, choosing a light or medium roof with white trim, eliminates the contrast anchor. The exterior loses definition and visual hierarchy. Buyers perceive these homes as less polished, even without being able to articulate exactly why.
What Roof Color Works With Red Brick and Brown or Tan Trim?
Brown and tan trim is the second most common configuration on red brick homes, especially on ranch and traditional colonial builds from the 1960s through the 1990s.
Where white trim raises contrast, brown and tan trim lower it. The entire facade sits in the warm-neutral range. That shifts the roof’s job from “anchor” to “separator,” and it needs enough depth to create visible hierarchy between the brick and the roofline.
Why Tan Trim Demands a Darker Roof
Tan trim on tan or warm brick with a tan roof is the most common color mistake on this type of home. Everything blends into one indistinct warm mass. The exterior loses definition.
Dark charcoal or dark brown roofs restore that separation. They sit above the tan trim tonally and create a clear reading from street level: roof, then trim, then brick.
LP SmartSide’s exterior guidance for warm brick homes specifically notes that tan-brown brick should be paired with a dark brown or black roof rather than gray. Gray on warm brick with tan trim often produces a visually disconnected exterior where the roof looks like it was chosen for a different house.
Brown Trim Roof Pairings That Work
Weathered wood shingles work when trim is a warm medium brown, not a cool greige. The multi-tone structure of weathered wood pulls from the same warm palette as the trim without disappearing into it.
Best roof pairings with brown trim:
- Dark brown shingles (Owens Corning Brownwood, GAF Barkwood)
- Charcoal with warm undertones (GAF Barkwood, not pure cool charcoal)
- Weathered wood on homes with medium-brown warm trim
Exterior color consultant Brick + Batten notes that Benjamin Moore’s Bear Creek (deep neutral with strong brown undertones) and Sherwin-Williams’ Urbane Bronze (brownish gray with subtle green undertones) are the most specified shades by professional designers on warm red brick with brown trim elements.
How Does Roof Color Affect Curb Appeal on Red Brick Ranch vs. Two-Story Homes?
Home structure changes how much visual weight the roof carries. A color that reads perfectly on one form can overwhelm or disappear on another.
The roof accounts for 25 to 40% of a home’s visible exterior from the street, depending on pitch and height (Roofing Calculator, 2024). On a two-story Colonial, that number pushes toward 40%. On a low-pitch ranch, it drops to 25% or less.
| Home Type | Roof Visibility | Color Priority |
| Low-pitch ranch | Low (roof less visible) | Texture matters more than color |
| Two-story Colonial | High (dominant field) | Color is the primary design decision |
| Two-story traditional | High (steep pitch) | Darker colors to ground the height |
| Craftsman / Bungalow | Medium (wide overhangs) | Multi-tone blends to match wood accents |
Ranch Homes With Red Brick
On a single-story ranch with a shallow roof pitch, the brick facade dominates the exterior. The roof is barely visible from the street.
Color matters less than material texture in this configuration. A weathered wood shingle with its multi-tone blend adds visual depth that reads from the curb. A flat single-tone charcoal on a low-pitch ranch can look too minimal, especially on a longer horizontal facade.
Best approach for ranch homes: choose a blended shingle (weathered wood, barkwood, or heather blend) over single-tone flat colors. The visual complexity of a blended shingle compensates for the limited roof area visible from street level.
Two-Story Homes With Red Brick
On a two-story home, the roof becomes a major facade element. A steep-pitched roof on a Colonial or traditional two-story can compose 50 to 60% of the visible exterior from certain angles (Brava Roof Tile, 2022).
Dark roofs reduce perceived height on tall homes. This is not a minor effect. Charcoal on a two-story brick Colonial reads as grounded and proportional. The same home with a tan or medium-gray roof looks taller and less anchored.
Modern farmhouse and transitional brick builds have driven uptake of matte black metal roofing on two-story forms since 2020. The contrast is dramatic and intentional. It works because the black roof compresses the vertical read of the home while the brick gives it warmth at eye level.
What Do Architects and Color Consultants Recommend for Red Brick Roof Colors?
The professional consensus is consistent: dark neutrals are the default recommendation for red brick homes, with charcoal gray at the top of every list.
Sherwin-Williams color marketing manager Emily Kantz stated in 2026 that the black and charcoal category remains popular, with browns carrying black undertones (like Urbane Bronze SW 7048 and Black Fox SW 7020) gaining relative prominence. The Eastern and Atlantic regions, where red brick construction is most concentrated, show the strongest preference for Tricorn Black SW 6258 and Iron Ore SW 7069 on brick homes.
The 60-30-10 Rule Applied to Red Brick Exteriors
Most exterior color consultants apply the color principle of dominant, secondary, and accent fields to brick home exteriors.
Brick: dominant field, roughly 60% of the exterior surface.
Roof: secondary field, roughly 30%. This is where the roof color decision carries the most weight in the overall palette.
Trim and doors: accent field, roughly 10%. They define edges and add punctuation without competing with brick or roof.
When the roof is selected as the 30% secondary field, it must create contrast with the 60% brick without overwhelming it. Dark neutrals (charcoal, black, deep brown) consistently satisfy this role across all brick undertones.
What Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams Recommend
Benjamin Moore’s senior manager of color marketing Hannah Yeo noted in 2026 that exterior palettes should begin with what’s already in place. Permanent elements (roofing, stone, brick, greenery) provide the natural direction for color.
For red brick specifically:
- Benjamin Moore’s Anthracite is the most cited charcoal for brick accents
- Sherwin-Williams Iron Ore (SW 7069) is the most frequently specified charcoal on red brick exteriors by professional paint color consultants (Color Concierge, 2026)
- GAF Charcoal and Owens Corning Williamsburg Gray lead manufacturer sales on brick-dominated residential projects nationally (HomeHero Roofing, 2026)
How Do Regional Climate and Light Conditions Affect Roof Color Choice for Red Brick?
Climate and geography shift which roof colors perform best. A color that looks right in Maine looks different in Arizona, and a color optimized for heat reflection may add meaningful winter heating costs in the Northeast.
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that a cool roof (light-colored, high reflectance) can save homeowners up to 15% on cooling costs in warm climates. Conventional dark roofs stay more than 50 degrees Fahrenheit hotter on a summer afternoon than reflective equivalents under the same conditions (DOE Cool Roofs).
Hot-Climate Regions
In Climate Zones 1 through 3 (Texas, Florida, Gulf Coast, Southwest), the DOE Cool Roof guidelines recommend high-reflectance roofing as the default choice. Light tan, beige, and light gray outperform dark charcoal on energy performance in these regions.
The practical tension: light tan on red brick in a high-sun climate produces a washed-out exterior with low contrast. The solution used by most color consultants in warm climates is to go with charcoal asphalt shingles that carry reflective granule technology, rather than plain dark shingles. Manufacturers like Atlas (Pinnacle Sun Shingles) offer dark-colored shingles with reflective coatings that maintain aesthetic contrast while reducing heat absorption.
Northern and Overcast Climates
Dark roof colors absorb heat. In cold climates, that’s a benefit. A dark roof helps melt snow, reduces ice dam risk, and contributes modest winter heating gains.
In the Northeast, where red brick Colonial and traditional construction is most common, dark charcoal and black dominate roofing sales data. RoofCon’s 2025 market analysis found that northern regions showed the strongest growth in deep charcoals and midnight blacks, directly aligned with both energy logic and the high-contrast aesthetic that suits classic brick architecture in that market.
Charcoal remains the dominant choice in the Northeast because it is thermally appropriate, architecturally compatible with brick construction, and, according to Saratoga Roofing Co. (2025), unlikely to ever look dated on classic red brick homes.
How Tree Canopy and Shadow Affect Roof Color Reads
Heavy tree coverage changes how any roof color reads throughout the day.
Dappled shade on a dark roof: charcoal looks richer and more complex. The light variation across the roof surface adds depth.
Dappled shade on a light roof: tan or beige shingles look patchy and inconsistent. Shadow spots read as staining or uneven aging.
Wooded lots with red brick homes almost always look better with dark roofs. The interaction between shadow and a dark shingle surface is visually forgiving. On light shingles, the same shadows become a liability.
What Are the Most Popular Roof Colors Used on Red Brick Homes?
Nationally, charcoal gray is the most installed roof color on red brick homes in the U.S., followed by weathered wood in warm-climate regions and black in urban and transitional markets (GAF regional sales data, Ridgeline Construction, 2025).
Blue-gray and gray shingles showed 23% sales growth in coastal markets in 2025, driven partly by their compatibility with brick homes near water where cool-undertone palettes dominate (RoofCon, 2025).
Top Manufacturer Colors Installed on Red Brick Homes
Based on manufacturer sales data and contractor records across brick-heavy markets:
- GAF: Charcoal and Weathered Wood as top sellers; Pewter Gray and Barkwood as strong secondary choices on warm brick
- CertainTeed: Moire Black and Charcoal are the most popular specifically on red brick houses (VA Roofing, 2024); Georgetown Gray as a mid-gray alternative
- Owens Corning: Williamsburg Gray (2024 Shingle Color of the Year) leads on traditional and Colonial brick homes; Estate Gray for cool-undertone brick
How Buyer Behavior Has Shifted Since 2020
Black roofing on red brick homes grew significantly from 2020 onward, driven by the modern farmhouse and transitional architectural movements.
Searches for natural brick home exteriors on Pinterest grew substantially in 2024, while searches for painted or limewashed brick fell roughly 30% year-over-year (Color Concierge, 2024). Homeowners are keeping the brick. They are increasingly pairing it with sharper, higher-contrast roof colors, particularly black and dark charcoal, rather than the warmer neutrals that dominated the 2010s.
Owens Corning’s roofing market data shows that blended multi-tone shingles in charcoal and gray-brown now outsell single-tone flat colors in most residential markets, because their visual texture depth matches the natural variation of brick more effectively than a flat single color ever could.
FAQ on What Color Roof Goes With Red Brick
What is the best roof color for a red brick house?
Charcoal gray is the most universally compatible choice. It provides strong contrast against red brick without the starkness of pure black, works across warm and cool brick undertones, and reads as timeless on both traditional and contemporary homes.
Does black roof go with red brick?
Yes, but with conditions. Black works best on cool-undertone brick with deep burgundy or blue-red saturation. On bright orange-red brick, the contrast becomes too abrupt. Pair black with white trim to keep the exterior balanced and well-defined.
What roof color should you avoid with red brick?
Avoid terracotta, bright red, and yellow shingles. These share the same warm pigments as the brick and produce a muddy, low-contrast exterior. Pure white roofing is also a poor match, highlighting aging brick unevenly.
Does a brown roof go with red brick?
Yes, on warm-undertone brick. Brown shingles like GAF’s Weathered Wood pull from the same orange-red palette as warm brick, creating a cohesive earthy exterior. Avoid brown on cool-red or burgundy brick, where it reads disconnected.
What roof color goes with red brick and white trim?
Charcoal or black. White trim raises the contrast baseline of the exterior, so the roof needs to anchor the composition. Medium gray is the color to skip here. It lacks the definition to ground both the white trim and the warm brick.
What shingle brands work best on red brick homes?
CertainTeed’s Moire Black and Charcoal are the most popular shingle colors specifically on red brick houses. GAF Charcoal and Owens Corning Williamsburg Gray lead sales on traditional and Colonial brick homes nationally.
Does roof color affect energy efficiency on brick homes?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cool roofs can save up to 15% on cooling costs in warm climates. In northern regions, dark charcoal absorbs heat beneficially in winter. Climate zone should guide the decision alongside aesthetics.
What roof color goes with red brick on a ranch home?
Blended shingles outperform flat single-tone colors on ranch homes. The low roof pitch means less roof is visible from the street, so texture and tonal variation (like weathered wood or a heather blend) carry more visual weight than color alone.
How does brick undertone change the roof color decision?
Completely. Warm orange-red brick pairs best with brown and warm gray. Cool blue-red or burgundy brick responds better to charcoal, slate blue, and black. Neutral red brick is the most flexible and accepts the widest range of roof colors.
What is the most popular roof color on red brick homes in the U.S.?
Charcoal gray dominates nationally, followed by weathered wood in warm-climate regions and black in transitional and urban markets. GAF Charcoal and CertainTeed Charcoal consistently rank as the top-selling shingle colors on brick construction projects.
Conclusion
This conclusion is for an article presenting the roof and brick color combinations that actually work, and the logic behind each one.
Brick undertone drives everything. Identify whether your facade runs warm, cool, or neutral before touching a shingle sample.
Charcoal gray, weathered wood, and black cover the majority of red brick homes across all architectural styles, trim colors, and climate zones.
Your trim color, home structure, and regional light conditions narrow the field further.
Skip terracotta, bright red, and yellow. They share pigment with the brick and eliminate any contrast that gives the exterior definition.
Test large samples on-site in natural daylight. A shingle that looks right on a card reads differently across a full roof plane against real brick.
