Hi Rosie

The shingles were chosen by the homeowner based on a specified range of colors. I don't know for sure what the color is. Manufacturer is most likely Certainteed. 30 year-min architectural shingles.

What was the specified range of colors? Do you think these are black? I have a house with redwood siding and I find there are few pictures anywhere of houses with redwood that aren't very large and modern, and many with flat roofs. Our house is a small 1960s ranch style house. This house isn't exactly a good model for hours, but there's redwood on it and that's a start!

Are you asking about colours for the outside? I would create a contrast between the doors and windows and the cladding/siding. One option is dark grey windows with off-white cladding. Another would be white or off-white windows with a mid-tone cladding color. Blue-grey or green-grey cladding would make the cabin fade into its surroundings more. Get some pots of paint and experiment! I struggle a bit to find any images but these may help: http://www.newquayplastics.biz/images/custom_made_grey_pvc_windows_%26_blue_glass_1a812.jpg?width=792&height=294 http://dellacooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Cloud-Street-Residence-exterior-patio-with-Gunmetal-1602-Paint-timber-siding-and-stone-pavers-walk-way-also-light-wood-patio-timber-deck-design-ideas-1024x681.jpg http://www.timber-cladding.co.uk/media/images/gallery/large/shepperd-hut-rebated-cladding-03.jpg

it looks like you have red brick on both neighbours. I would take your inspiration from the rest of the street keep the materials faithful to the original houses but find a crisper way of doing it.....for instance: pebble dash on other houses might be interpreted as smooth render on your house. deep 1930s bays on other houses might be interpreted by a similarly deep window on your house (but perhaps in the grey shown on the picture above). if other houses have a wood shingle/tile on the front elevation perhaps instead of stone cladding you could mirror this but in a cleaner way with wide board cladding?

Rosie -- I cannot tell you the range of colors, but from the photo it is definitely not plain black or grey. I went back to the original project images and the shingles look like they have a little bit of color (pinkish?) in them. Most of the shingle manufacturers have 20-30 different color options. This project is only about 6 years old, so this color (or something similar) is still probably available. Best I can do.
