We're planning on changing our siding color and need some good ideas that would go with our brown roof.

I am thinking a light Taupe would work not to dark but will compliment the roof.

Take a drive around your town and see what siding colors and combinations you like on other homes. The company installing your siding should have design consultant available, too.

I 'm with Janet. A light taupe, tan, but also MN Mom has a good suggestion, of driving around and see what other homes have. If you see it on an existing home something may appeal o you.

I say go with your own inspiration and not what the neighbors have done. After all don't you want your own style.

I agree that a soft taupe would look good just be very careful not to choose a tone that has a pink cast to it, or your house could have a flesh tone look. You might also consider a shade of gray that has brown undertones. Before you commit to a color choice, buy some paint samples the color of your siding choice (any paint store can do a color match) and paint a large section of your siding to see how it actually looks with your roof. I would suggest choosing about 3 color samples and paint them side by side. This will give you a really good idea and comparison of your color choices.

Is your current siding in bad repair? If not, the color you have is just fine.

I think taupe would be a lot of blah with that roof! I think a beautiful blue-ish gray (more hint of blue) would look great! Especially if you trimmed in a stark white!

Ours is a "silver sage" - very light muted green-gray cast. Would look good with your roof and yard.

A lot of colors go good with brown. I like the "Silver-sage" suggestion or maybe a pretty shade of blue. And hey, you can never go wrong with white!

I had my roof re-done a few years ago, and I wanted a color to go with my siding, so I chose a beautiful multi colored brown shingles for the roof. It has light to medium brown colors in it. It went beautiful with my siding which is NOT yellow, but a golden yellow. The two colors together look fantastic. My new windows were framed in white, and the house just looks so crisp. My house stands out in the block of houses that are grey, green, white, and blue. It's like my house brought a bit of fresh air to our block LOL
