Our 14 Panel Color Options Here is a breakdown of every color we offer and where each one works best: Neutrals and Whites White: The brightest option. Reflects heat well, making it a popular choice in hot climates. Clean, classic appearance that pairs with any wall color. Tan: A warm, light neutral that blends beautifully with sandy or wooded landscapes. Sandstone: Slightly darker than tan with a warm, earthy tone. Very popular for residential garages. Pebble Beige: A versatile light beige that works in nearly every setting. Clay: A medium warm neutral with a hint of pink. Complements brick, stone, and earth-toned homes. Grays Galvalume: The classic unpainted steel finish. Affordable and durable, with a distinctive metallic look. Pewter Gray: A medium gray that provides a modern, industrial aesthetic. Quaker Gray: A darker charcoal gray. Sharp and contemporary, especially with white trim. Earth Tones Earth Brown: A deep, rich brown that fits naturally in rural and wooded settings. Barn Red: The traditional red barn color. A bold choice that makes a statement on farms and rural properties. Burgundy: A darker, more refined red. Sophisticated and less rustic than barn red. Cool Tones Evergreen: A deep, forest green. Blends into wooded landscapes and pairs well with earth brown or white trim. Slate Blue: A muted steel blue that provides a unique, distinctive look. Works beautifully with white or gray trim. Black: Bold and modern. Makes a strong design statement. Consider a lighter roof color to reduce heat absorption.
