Metal/shingle mixed roof

[Deleted]

We have a very simple hip roof with one gable and we're spending the weekend and next week picking out a new roof and contractor. We both like a dark, solid gray for the shingles but DH suggested getting some sort of metal for the small dormer. I'm not sure. Have you seen this done and done well? One of the brochures we have has this: www.gaf.com/Residential_Roofing/Shingles/Camelot/Camelot_Sheffield_Black_Photo_2.jpg

This is the shingle we like, only we hope to have something more solid colored, and it's paired with copper. I'm not crazy about the copper, especially once it goes bright green on our army green house, so DH suggested some sort of gray tin. I don't want to shoot him down, since he really likes the idea, but I'm just not sure about it. Any thoughts?

Alright, so one vote for DH not crazy Have you made any progress on your roof? We're struggling with venting issues right now too (don't know if you saw my post on Fri). Sucks.

I gave the go ahead, with two ridge vents. They are starting in two weeks

I love this idea. LOVE IT! It's different, so it's cool.....but the dark grey color will "blend" so it's not in-your-face. I think if you have the same color for door hardware, etc. then it would all go very nicely.
