7 Brown Roofing and Siding Color Combinations

Matching the roofing and siding is one way to maximize the stylistic beauty of your home and add a unique element of design that not only improves your curb appeal, it helps your home stand out from the rest. When it comes to matching siding and roofing, there are a wide variety of different combinations and colors to choose from. 

Just about any type of siding can be matched with any other color, but there are some combos that simply work a lot better than others. 

In this article, we’ve featured 7 brown roofing and siding color combinations that you can use to optimize your home’s beauty. 

If you love brown siding and roofing and you want to create the most beautiful roofing and siding combination, let’s go over 7 awesome designs:

1. Walden Roofing with Golden Cedar Siding

Walden Roofing from CeDUR is one type of roofing that’s hard to go wrong with. For starters, Walden is a color of synthetic cedar shake roofing. It has the look and feel of real cedar, and it is a chocolate-gray color. Although the material itself may be synthetic, it still looks nearly identical to what you would find in a real Walden roof.

The difference is basically impossible to tell, thanks to the science of modern-day color mixing. As with all CeDUR shake roofing, these cedar shakes will shift in color over the first 90 days according to their UV exposure. They will slowly settle into the gray, chocolate-brown color that they will maintain for life. Walden goes great with many different siding colors, but we found this Golden Cedar siding match particularly compelling.

2. Live Oak Roofing with Tawny Siding

Live Oak is another offering from CeDUR that complements other browns very well. In this instance, tawny-colored siding happens to accentuate the roofing and contrast perfectly between the two shades of brown. Live Oak is a darker shade of brown than tawny, but still light enough that it retains its warmth. As with the other CeDUR shake options, Live Oak will age into its final color over 90 days, and will settle into a warm, rustic look that works well in natural settings like wooded areas and mountain sides.

3. Shiloh Roofing with Neutral Brown Siding

Neutral brown, or as we like to call it, “bronde” works perfectly with this Shiloh roof from CeDUR. These synthetic, cool-gray cedar shake shingles provide an excellent balance to the earthy, half and half shades of this bronde siding. 

These shakes will also age into their final cool, Shiloh color over 90 days, into the cold, smooth look they are known best for. Shiloh cedar shakes are known for working best with warmer colors such as bronde, tan, caramel, and others. This combination is one that happens to stand out to us as being particularly pleasing to the eye.

4. Golden Cedar with Rust Brown Brick Siding

While we typically see brick siding in red or less commonly, dark brown, this rust brick siding happens to match the Golden Cedar synthetic wood shakes from CeDUR just perfectly. Golden Cedar is a lighter, brighter shade of brown with a lean more towards blonde than brown. 

Appearing somewhat similar to the Live Oak series from CeDUR, this Golden Cedar variety and its light, warm tones mesh just right with the earthy, brown-rust color of the brick siding. This variation of cedar shake is especially popular in Southern California where it’s also fire-rated as Class A with regard to wildfires.

5. Gray/white Speckled Cedar Shake Roofing with Fiber Cement Siding

The roof doesn’t always have to match the siding, but sometimes it should. In this case, the gray and white alternating cedar shakes on the roof match perfectly with the horizontal gray fiber cement siding and its corresponding white lines. The siding appears to be mimicking a traditional cement wall with the concrete block lines in between, but has incorporated them in contrast to the navy gray color for a look that blends nicely with the gray and white roofing.

6. Metal Roofing with Gray Cedar Shakes and Maple-Colored Siding

Back to the stunning contrasts again, this metal roofing/gray cedar shake combo with maple-colored siding is too excellent to leave out. The lighter, warm tones of the maple siding reflect light while the darker tones of the gray cedar shake roof and the gray, strategically rusted metal draw it in for a one-two punch that’s sure to please.

7. Chestnut Roofing with Light Brown and White Siding

This color combo works extremely well in a yard with dark green scenery, as the light colors of both the roofing and the siding contrast well with the deep greens of the natural landscaping. Throw in a white cement driveway and you’ve got yourself a trio of perfectly complementary curb appeal that’s sure to turn heads.

Choosing the right type of siding to match the roof when it comes to color and aesthetic is crucial to maximizing the curb appeal of your home. Instead of picking two different types at random, consider using one of the options we’ve featured here if brown is your style of choice.

Whether you prefer lighter colors, darker tones, or a mash up, CeDUR has something here for everyone!
