Metal Roof Colors for Central Ohio Homes

Choosing a metal roof color is one of the most visible decisions in your entire roofing project — and one of the most permanent. Unlike paint, your roof color is chosen once and lives with your home for 40-plus years, so it’s worth getting right the first time.

At The Metal Roof Company, every color we install is finished with Kynar 500® PVDF coating, the industry standard for fade and chalk resistance. That means the deep charcoal or burgundy you fall in love with today still looks that way after two decades of Central Ohio winters and summers — not a chalky, faded version of it. Below, you’ll find our most popular metal roof colors, each with its own dedicated page covering panel types, best-fit applications, and siding pairings for homes throughout Columbus, Newark, Granville, Lancaster, Westerville, Powell, and Dublin. If your color choice is driven by storm damage or an insurance claim, our storm damage specialists page walks through the full replacement process.

Black Metal Roofing

A black metal roof gives Central Ohio homes a sharp, modern edge — equally at home on a contemporary build or a classic farmhouse looking for contrast against white or gray siding. Because darker colors absorb more heat, black is a strong performer through Ohio’s cold winters, and our Kynar 500® finish keeps it from fading to a dull gray over time the way lower-grade coatings do.

Red Metal Roofing

Red is a bold, traditional choice that suits Central Ohio’s farmhouses, barns, and craftsman-style homes especially well. It’s one of the more fade-prone shades in direct sun, which is exactly why we specify Kynar 500® PVDF on every red roof we install — it holds pigment far longer than standard SMP coatings.

Blue Metal Roofing

Blue is an unexpected but striking option for homeowners who want their roof to stand out in the neighborhood. It pairs beautifully with white, gray, or navy siding, and reads as clean and coastal without looking out of place on a Midwest home. As with any saturated color, our Kynar 500® finish is what keeps a blue roof looking rich instead of washed-out after a few Ohio summers. See Blue Metal Roofing Options →

Charcoal & Dark Gray Metal Roofing

Charcoal and dark gray are consistently our most requested neutral tones — versatile enough to pair with nearly any siding color, from white and beige to bold blues and greens. It’s a favorite for resale value in Central Ohio because it reads as timeless rather than trendy, while still giving a home a more updated look than a lighter gray.

Burgundy & Dark Red Metal Roofing

Burgundy brings the warmth of a traditional red with a deeper, more muted finish that suits both historic and modern Central Ohio homes. It pairs especially well with cream, tan, or stone-toned siding. Like our standard red, burgundy is a fade-prone color, so we install it exclusively with Kynar 500® PVDF coating to protect the pigment long-term. See Burgundy & Dark Red Options →

Brown & Chocolate Metal Roofing

A brown or chocolate metal roof brings warmth and an earthy, natural feel — a strong match for wooded lots, log-style homes, and properties throughout Licking and Fairfield counties where a traditional look is preferred. It pairs seamlessly with beige, tan, and rustic stone siding.
