What ProVia Siding Colors Go With Owens Corning Shingles?

The ProVia siding color that goes best with your Owens Corning roof depends on the roof's undertone: warm brown shingles look best with creams and warm neutrals, cool grays suit whites, grays and blues, and black roofs pair easily with whites and other light colors. ProVia's vinyl siding palette runs from White, Antique White, Cream and Alabaster through Gray, Pewter and Myst Gray to colors such as Premium Blue, Sage, Timberline, Sea Slate, Nightfall, Neptune, Mountain Berry, Harvest Red and Pine. Owens Corning's own color descriptions tell you which undertone your shingle has, so you can narrow the list before you ever hold up a sample.

Choose the color and the siding line together, because not every ProVia color comes in every line. ProVia's architectural specifications brochure lists its Ultra siding in 10 colors (White, Antique White, Cream, Alabaster, Chateau, Sandalwood, Gray, Pewter, Clay and Everest) and Willowbrook in 19, while HeartTech and CedarMAX carry the full list, including Premium Blue, Mountain Berry, Timberline, Sea Slate, Nightfall, Neptune, Harvest Red and Pine. If you have your heart set on one of those last eight colors, that decides the line. This guide covers ProVia's colors by line, how to read your roof's undertone, which ProVia colors to sample with gray, black and brown roofs, and what ProVia's own design palettes teach about pairing.

What Colors Does ProVia Vinyl Siding Come In?

ProVia's siding colors page includes White, Linen, Antique White, Cream, Alabaster, Chateau, Sandalwood, Gray, Pewter, Clay, Everest, Prairie, Premium Blue, Sage, Canyon, Granite, Aspen, Pueblo, Nautica, Mountain Berry, Timberline, Sea Slate, Nightfall, Neptune, Myst Gray, Harvest Red and Pine. On its HeartTech page, ProVia sorts those colors into two collections, Lifestyle and Signature.

ProVia says all of its siding uses Tri-Pigment Reflective Technology, Color Keeper Anti-Fade Protection, a Weather Barrier Shield and its SPX-2000 UV Blocker to fight fading and improve weather resistance. Its written warranty covers fading beyond four standard color units for the original owner only. Our article on the best siding colors for Pittsburgh-area homes covers color choice from the siding side.

Which ProVia Siding Lines Offer Which Colors?

According to ProVia's architectural specifications brochure:

• Ultra: White, Antique White, Cream, Alabaster, Chateau, Sandalwood, Gray, Pewter, Clay and Everest.

• Willowbrook: everything in Ultra, plus Linen, Prairie, Sage, Canyon, Granite, Aspen, Pueblo, Nautica and Myst Gray.

• HeartTech and CedarMAX: the full palette, adding Premium Blue, Mountain Berry, Timberline, Sea Slate, Nightfall, Neptune, Harvest Red and Pine.

Put simply, if you want one of the colors that appear only on the HeartTech and CedarMAX lists, such as Premium Blue, Harvest Red or Pine, the color choice also settles the siding line. Line choice also affects thickness: ProVia lists HeartTech at .044 inch, for example. Ask your estimator to confirm current color availability for the line you choose, since manufacturers update palettes over time.

How Do You Read Your Roof's Undertone?

An undertone is the quieter color underneath the main color, and it is what makes a roof and siding either agree or clash. Owens Corning's descriptions of its Duration and Designer shingles make the undertone easy to find:

• Warm: Brownwood, Desert Rose, Bourbon, Sedona Canyon and Aged Copper are described as warm browns. Estate Gray is a warm gray with a green undertone.

• Neutral: Driftwood and Teak are medium neutral browns, and Williamsburg Gray is a dark neutral gray with brown in the mix.

• Cool: Slatestone Gray is a medium gray with a blue undertone, and Pacific Wave is a dark blue gray.

• Black and white blends: Onyx Black combines dark gray and black granules, Black Sable is a black with a dark brown undertone, and Sierra Gray is a light gray made of black and white granules.

Once you know which group your roof is in, you can rule out siding colors that pull the other way.

Which ProVia Colors Should You Sample With a Gray or Black Roof?

Owens Corning's style boards often put gray and black roofs over a light house with one bold accent.

• Onyx Black: Owens Corning's Jadite style board pairs Onyx Black with a white exterior and a green accent, and says the roof brings crispness and simplicity. ProVia White or Alabaster with a Sage or Pine accent follows the same idea.

• Black Sable: Owens Corning pairs Black Sable with Snowbound, a soft white. Antique White or Cream siding keeps that softer look, which suits Black Sable's brown undertone.

• Estate Gray: Owens Corning pairs Estate Gray with Rainstorm, which it calls a serious and thoughtful shade of blue. White siding with blue shutters, or Premium Blue siding with white trim, are worth sampling.

• Slatestone Gray and Pacific Wave: Cool roofs pair naturally with White, Gray, Pewter, Myst Gray and blues.

• Williamsburg Gray: A dark neutral gray works with most whites and grays; our guide to the best exterior colors to pair with Williamsburg Gray shingles goes further.

Which ProVia Colors Should You Sample With a Brown Roof?

For brown roofs, Owens Corning's style boards show where to start:

• Aged Copper: Owens Corning pairs it with Butternut, a golden yellow, and notes the golden tabs in the shingle make it a good match. Cream siding is the ProVia starting point for that warmth.

• Bourbon: Owens Corning's Northwest Craftsman board pairs Bourbon with Dress Blues and describes a blend of cool blues and warm golden browns. Premium Blue siding with cream trim is worth a look.

• Driftwood: Owens Corning pairs Driftwood with Willow Tree, a cool greenish gray. Sage and Myst Gray are worth sampling.

• Teak: Owens Corning pairs Teak with Baguette, which it calls a strong, earthy neutral. Cream is a natural first sample, and other ProVia colors such as Sandalwood and Clay are worth comparing in person.

Treat these as starting points, not rules. The names above are ProVia's and the pairings are Owens Corning's, so the only way to confirm a match is to see the actual siding and shingle together in daylight.

What Can You Learn From ProVia's Own Color Palettes?

ProVia's design team publishes complete exterior palettes on its website, and even though they are built around ProVia's metal roofing rather than asphalt shingles, the siding and trim combinations are useful:

• Daybreak: Sea Slate vinyl siding with White board and batten and white windows

• Arctic Blue: Neptune vinyl siding with Gray shake and shingle

• Truffle: Sage vinyl siding with Sandalwood shake and shingle

• Eucalyptus: Antique White vinyl siding with Canyon shake and shingle

• Espresso: Mountain Berry vinyl siding with Linen board and batten

• Rainfall: White vinyl siding with Coal Black shake and shingle and Coal Black windows

The pattern is two siding colors, one main and one accent in a different texture, which is an easy way to add depth to a house under a simple roof. Our article on how roofing and siding should work together covers how the two materials relate.

FAQ

Which ProVia siding line has the most colors?

According to ProVia's architectural specifications brochure, HeartTech and CedarMAX carry the full palette, Willowbrook offers 19 colors and Ultra offers 10.

What ProVia siding color goes with a black roof?

White and Alabaster are the simplest choices. Owens Corning's Onyx Black style board uses a white exterior with a green accent, so ProVia White with a Sage or Pine accent follows the same idea.

What ProVia siding color goes with a brown roof?

Start with Cream for warm browns such as Brownwood or Aged Copper, and consider Sage or Myst Gray for neutral browns such as Driftwood. Always test against the actual shingle.

Is every ProVia color available in every line?

No. Colors such as Premium Blue, Mountain Berry, Timberline, Sea Slate, Nightfall, Neptune, Harvest Red and Pine appear only in the HeartTech and CedarMAX lists in ProVia's brochure.

Does ProVia guarantee its siding colors against fading?

ProVia's warranty covers fading beyond four standard color units, and that fade coverage applies to the original owner only.

Should I choose my roof color or siding color first?

Start with the elements you are keeping, such as brick, stone or a roof that is still in good shape. If you are replacing both, choose them together, as covered in why you should replace your roofing and siding together.
