10 Tile Roof Colors and Styles

Tile roofing has become increasingly popular over the last few decades.

But why?

It’s because Spanish barrel tile roofs have a variety of roof tile colors that can be customized to meet the needs and preferences of almost every home and property owner.

To give you a better understanding of their flexibility in design, let’s explore a few of the most beautiful tile roof colors for modern homes. 

10 Roof Tile Colors for Your Home

Here are 10 examples of roofing tile colors and styles you should consider for your home or new property build:

1. A Classic Red Clay Terra Cotta

Nothing beats the traditional Spanish tile roof colors. 

The Spanish Colonial-style project pictured above features synthetic Spanish barrel tiles from Brava, which offer an authentic look with more durability and without the added weight or cost.

They opted to keep things traditional with the color, going for a reddish brown terracotta you’d find on clay tile roofs across Europe. On this project, the bright reddish brown contrasts with the smooth white exterior walls, adding to the classic Mediterranean appearance.

2. Elegant Light Gray Slate

Slate tiles are another classic option that has been around for many years, offering a beautiful, elegant look. Like the previous example of roof tile colors, this project uses synthetic slate, this time from DaVinci. They opted for a charcoal-colored gray roofing tile color that contrasts the white accents and cream-colored siding.

3. A Mix of Red and Brown

Not all barrel tile roof colors are uniform, and that’s a good thing.

This waterfront Spanish-style multi-family property features Brava’s Spanish Barrel tiles that are predominately the traditional, bright terracotta color, with darker tiles mixed together. Why is this important? It helps create more interest and dimension.

4. An Aged Yet Tan Mediterranean Look

Vibrant terracotta isn’t the only option for Spanish tile roof colors. For this project, the homeowner opted for a more traditional Spanish barrel tile from Eagle Roofing concrete barrel tiles.

In terms of roof tiles color, they choose a less saturated brown that creates a tan appearance, and they used darker tiles along the edges of the roof to create a more old-world feel. 

While it creates less contrast with the siding, it also still stands out brightly from the surrounding homes.

5. Black Barrel Tile On a Boat Dock

There is no denying that black isn’t one of the common barrel tile roof colors, but it makes for an elegant choice, especially with water as a backdrop.

This project uses Brava’s Spanish tiles, and despite the small size of the dock, the choice has a massive impact on the surrounding space.

6. A Multi-Color Tile Roof

Another option with tile roofs is to mix roof tiles and colors, which allows you to create a more custom combination that nobody else will have. 

The project above is an example of this idea, as it creates a checkerboard-like pattern from Brava tiles in varying shades of gray that appear almost blue and grey in the sunlight. 

It is something you don’t commonly see, which provides this home a sense of character amongst the rest in the area.

7. A Home With Smokey Grey Concrete Tiles

Dark-colored slate tiles are a favorite for many projects, and for good reason: it helps create a sleek, elegant appearance for almost any project.

This homeowner opted for Eagle Roofing concrete tiles that are designed to mimic the appearance of slate. It is a smoky gray, with some warmth, softening the contrast between the roof and siding.

8. A Vibrant White Roof

Black is just one uncommon Spanish tile roof colors. Another is white, as we see in picture above. This homeowner opted for white Brava Spanish tiles, which brightens the property and keeps things in the same color palette for the home’s exterior, matting the white trim while contrasting slightly with the cream siding. 

9. Brown Multi-Colored Slate

In contrast to the usual black and dark-colored slate roofs, this homeowner opted for lighter roofing tile colors. 

Working with DaVinci products, they chose synthetic slate in varying brown tones, with dark and light tiles mixed together. The lighter tones seem to match the stucco on the siding of the house and paved yard, helping to tie everything together.

10. Brown Rustic Shake

For a modern yet rustic home appearance, composite shake colors are an excellent choice. 

They can come in a variety of different vibrant brown colors from light brown to dark gray, and they have the unique appearance of a cedar shake roof without the maintenance requirements that are typical in traditional cedar shake roofs.
