Top Shingle Colors for Pittsburgh Homes in 2025

When it comes to curb appeal, your roof plays a bigger role than you might think. The right shingle color can complement your home’s architecture, blend with the natural surroundings, and even influence energy efficiency. For homeowners in Pittsburgh, 2025 brings an exciting mix of classic tones and bold new trends. At Craig Gouker Roofing, we’re sharing the top shingle color choices we’re seeing throughout the region this year.

1. Black Onyx – Timeless and Dramatic

Black Onyx, one of the most popular Owens Corning® shingle colors, continues to dominate in 2025. Its deep, true black creates a sharp contrast against light-colored siding and adds elegance to modern and traditional homes alike. It's perfect for homeowners seeking a sleek, upscale look.

Best paired with: White, gray, beige, brick, or stone siding

2. Driftwood – Natural and Versatile

A go-to neutral, Driftwood features a mix of browns and grays that works well with Pittsburgh’s mix of older homes and new builds. Its earthy tones feel grounded and cozy—perfect for colonial, craftsman, or farmhouse styles.

Best paired with: Tan, cream, sage, olive green, or red brick exteriors

3. Estate Gray – Classic with a Modern Edge

Gray continues to trend across all areas of design, and Estate Gray is no exception. It offers a clean, crisp look with subtle depth and texture. It’s an ideal option for homeowners who want a modern but not too trendy aesthetic.

Best paired with: Blue, white, charcoal, or light stone siding

4. Teak – Rich and Warm

For those looking to add warmth and richness, Teak brings a deep brown base with warm highlights. It looks especially sharp on traditional homes and can help a roof stand out without overwhelming the rest of the exterior.

Best paired with: Cream, tan, brown, or dark red siding

5. Pacific Wave – Bold but Refined

If you want to make a statement in 2025, Pacific Wave is a bold, stormy blue-gray that adds personality and depth. It’s eye-catching yet sophisticated, and it pairs beautifully with cool tones and clean lines.

Best paired with: White, navy, light gray, or blue-toned stonework

Choosing the Right Color for Pittsburgh Weather

Pittsburgh homes deal with snow, rain, and varying light conditions, so it’s important to choose a shingle color that looks good in all seasons. Darker shades like Black Onyx absorb more heat, which can help with snowmelt in winter, while mid-tone grays and browns like Driftwood or Estate Gray offer year-round balance.

Craig Gouker Roofing uses Owens Corning® Duration® Series shingles, which feature TruDefinition® color for richer contrast and lasting beauty—so your roof looks great in any light.
