Vote on shingle color

[Deleted]

I have to pick a shingle color by tomorrow. They are a special order and we don't really have time to get samples (leak + busy roofer), so all I've got to go on are the online colors.

Here are the colors:

My gut feeling was pewter gray

How green is Black Forest IRL? If it's black with just a hint of green, I think it's my favorite. But if it's green with some black, never mind.

If it's really green, my vote is for Pewter Gray.

ETA - can you google for pics of the shingles on real houses? I'm such a color freak that there's no way I could choose with just online samples! Colors are so unreliable online.

I'm going to say antique black just because I think the pewter might be too blah.
Are u doing the metal dormer?

[AAM2012]

I think both the antique black and pewter gray would work well.

Pewter gray. It looks like it has a little more color variation in it.

There are a few pics of installations on their site, but they aren't labeled which is which :/ The one I think is Black Forest definitely has green tones all over it when installed. We were thinking about a metal dormer, but these shingles are about $1800 more than the standards (which I hate), so we decided to upgrade the shingles rather than the dormer. Not enough dollars to go around!

ETA: I have tried Googling for images not on their site, but they aren't popular shingles, and I only see installations of Pewter Gray and Oakwood (I think).

I too love the variance of the pewter

[pitterwoo]

another vote for pewter.

I'm evidently the anti-H&G. The variation is what I didn't like about the pewter Well that and I agree with Bunny about the blah possibility. DH and I each picked our two favorites, and Antique Black is the only one we both chose. Thanks for all the thoughts. I'll let DH see them too and I guess we'll sleep on it.
