The new black

My shingle picks from this roofer were Glacier or Granite Black. Glacier is almost black as is Black Sable, but after seeing them on multiple homes, I saw a reddish tone to the browns in them. Beautiful.  But I wanted more of a neutral. 

This is Granite Black.  The solid deep black of years ago is very hard to find, and actually what I wanted.  But I don't have the patience or incentive to research or shop.  Metal was not an option and higher cost.

The new black in sun

or shade.

Only a few days left in August.  

Damn.

Hi Marly, summer went way too fast for me, too! I blinked and it is gone! Your roof color looks very nice on your beautiful home. And, your sampler is looking good, too! Cherie in WI

Since when is a glacier black???? Your choice is wonderful. Weird how roof colors only jump out at you when you are replacing your own.

Your house is beautiful, so different from the houses in the Netherlands.
Such a pity ,next week already September and I don't like that month with so much memories that I wish they never happened.
Take care, Truus from Holland

Love your new roof, Marly! I never notice roofs on houses, but when it comes to picking my own colors, I, too, stress. Your home is so beautiful! Crazy how Labor Day is here already... and this cold, cold week! UGH! I'm not ready for this!

The roof color looks great with the color of your house, just enough contrast to add interest yet keeps in theme with the overall look. You`ve done so much work to the house and yard in the past few years, it all looks fantastic! Now you deserve a rest.
