How to choose the right color scheme
You need to know that the shade of the external walls of the building is crucial when selecting the color of the roof. Bright saturated shades are recommended to be used on roofs with a simple surface geometry and a minimum number of decorative elements. Otherwise, visual perception will be difficult. The dark coating of the roof attracts a significantly larger number of rays, as a result of which more severe heating occurs. In addition, under the influence of the sun, dark coatings burn more. For this reason, preference should be given to quality materials that will save on future expenses.
If the house is surrounded by trees, then the advice is often found to choose light shades of the facade and roof color. In this case, falling autumn leaves on the roof are not so noticeable. In addition, the shadow from the trees will be visually noticeable, which will give the final style a complete look. Materials of bright red or black shades are best used in details, without providing the chosen color of the dominant position. There are several selected directions when selecting the color of the facade and roof:
- the red roof is more suitable when painting walls in a light brown or gray tone,
- the green color of the roof is combined with facades of light shades: white, gray, light yellow, cream, cream
- black color always shakes the common color scheme, for this reason it is used to visual reduction in the area of \u200b\u200bthe roof,
- for a white plastered surface of the facade, terracotta color is considered optimal. As a rule, this is a rich shade of red,
- heavenly shades of the facade and roof merge with the sky, so this color selection is not recommended.
In any case, before deciding, you need to study all the sentences and dwell on a less intense shade.
What factors affect the choice?
The combination of roof colors and facade initially requires taking into account the features of the location of the house in relation to the terrain. There are some tips that will provide assistance when taking into account the area:
- Houses that are located in the northern regions are more often performed with a roof of darker color.
When exposed to sunlight, dark color absorbs more ultraviolet radiation, due to which the roof heats up harder. Nevertheless, the heat of heat is also greater - which will be its advantage in the cold season. Especially strongly this effect is manifested on the roof of corrugated board and metal tiles.
- If high -growing plants are planted near the house, then a combination of natural shades is recommended: brown and green. By analogy with close location near reservoirs, the color scheme of heavenly and beige colors is more often used.
- The selection of the color of the roof should rely on the correspondence of the architectural style of the structure. For example, the classic structure of the building does not accept bright color shades, while soft pastel and chocolate-brown tones will give such a house a beautiful and complete look.
- The successfully selected color of the facade and roof is able to hide the architectural disadvantages of the structure, while emphasizing its advantages.
- If the building has a complex architectural shape, it is not recommended to use bright colors for the main color scheme. In this case, all bends and complex forms will become unnecessarily highlighted on a common basis. Therefore, in this case, it is advisable to resort to calm light shades with a darker frame of windows and doors.
- The chimney is more often faced in accordance with the chosen color and material, which is used for the roof. The choice of a different color can violate the overall composition.
As a rule, when decorating the appearance of the facade and roof, two primary colors are used. Sometimes the third is mixed with them, as a separate color of the design of the facade elements.
Color selection for compatibility
The selection of color scheme is a difficult issue for non -specialists. In this case, it makes sense to either contact a designer-former, or use the data from the table below: 
The overhangs and drain pipes are selected to the color of the roof, while the use of the color scheme that harmonizes the facade is allowed. The schemes of combination of the color of the roof and the facade of the building themselves are divided into several varieties:
- the traditional scheme “Dark top/light bottom”. Conservative style, which was most widely used,
- the option “Dark walls/light roofs”. It is rarely resorted to, but such a scheme is interesting to the effect of a merger with the clouds,
- the design of the roof and the facade in a single color allows the building to acquire a monolithic and harmonious appearance. Some designers criticize such a scheme, calling it "boring." It is useful to note that the design of the wall and roof in one color, and the boundary elements in another significantly diversify the style. Such elements mean casting windows, doorways and circuits of roofs along with drain pipes,
- if the territory on which the house is located is well open and is covered with the sun from all sides, then it makes sense to think about the gray gamut of the design. Despite some kind of nondescence, gray color is considered one of the most practical. It does not burn out in the sun, over time, yellow spots do not form on it, like on white. If when using gray shades, use a resonating dark color to framing some elements, then in the end you will get a beautiful design.
The choice of gamma depending on the style of the structure
Architecture requires to take into account the peculiarity of the design and location of the elements on the facade and roof of the structure. And each style has its own recommendations:
- classic style requires strict observance of the balance of colors. One color scheme is used, as a rule, light pastel colors. It is necessary to ensure a smooth transition of one color to another. At the same time, the design of the color scheme on the contrasts is unacceptable. The details on the walls should be shaded from the total background of the wall. For example, columns, arches and stucco on the walls should have a different shade than the overall facade of the building,
- the Romanesque style requires the performance in tonalities imitating the color of natural stone. In this case, individual elements are distinguished by a darker range, the main color is the same.

- romantic historicism allows you to combine different opposite colors. As a rule, the facade is selected under the natural color of a stone or brick, while the roof often has a saturated blue or green color. Green shades are used for white or beige facade, blue or burgundy - for gray masonry,
- the Renaissance style demonstrates simplicity and sophistication. He does not tolerate cold gray shades and it is based on heat. Therefore, the color of the facade and roof is selected either in reddish or in cream-brown color scheme,

This means squeezing out the polymer mass through the forming nozzle. The panel obtained in this way is with strength and elasticity, which are able to withstand random blows. Just as in the case of other options for facade finishes, facade cladding with siding involves several traditional solutions:
- the light facade and dark roof is pleasant to the eye, because it contrasts well with the roof in the color scheme,
- the use of one tonality in the selection of the facade and roof looks harmonious, but somewhat boring,
- a light roof and a dark facade are excellent for innovation in design, but require a more thorough selection of color scheme,
The roof and facade made in different colors will be an excellent solution. In particular, natural colors are well suited for aesthetics. It must be remembered that there are several subtleties that negatively affect the aesthetics of the appearance of the building:
