Can My Gutters Match the Color of My Roof? Matching Gutter Colors with Roof Tiles

Matching the color of your gutters with the tiles of your roof can be a great way to enhance the overall aesthetic of your home. However, it can also be a bit of a challenge to get the perfect match. In this blog post, we will go over some tips and tricks for matching the color of your gutters with the tiles of your roof, to ensure that your home looks its best.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when matching the color of your gutters with the tiles of your roof is to remember that the gutters and the tile are different materials. For example, gutters are made from metals (normally aluminum or copper), while tiles are made from materials such as terracotta or slate. This means that even if you have the exact same color for both, they will not match exactly. This is because light will reflect differently on the metal than on the tile. This can cause a headache for homeowners who thought they got the exact same color for both.

As such, a perfect matching will require both the gutters and the roof to be the same material, in this case, metal. Therefore, in order to get an exact matching, with the gutter color, we will need a metal roof. Otherwise, the gutter color can get close to matching the tile color, but we cannot get an exact color.

Since we cannot get an exact match, it is important to consider the overall color palette of your home. We do not need to match the gutters exactly to the tile to have a beautiful look to the house. In fact, this should be avoided unless you want to completely hide the gutters.

Take a look at the color of your siding, trim, and other architectural features to get a sense of the general color scheme of your home. This will help you determine which color of gutters will complement the tiles of your roof the most. Often times, contrasting the color of the gutters with the tiles, will provide the house a nice "trim."

White houses with dark features (bronze fences, windows, and doors), will benefit from a bronze gutter with either bronze downspouts or white downspouts. Bronze downspouts will add contrast to the house, while white downspouts will make them disappear.
