Give your home a calm, durable and timeless feel with IKO's trending shingle colors. 

Do you love the outdoors? Well, now you can make your home blend into the natural world with IKO Industries’ trending shingle colors. Their nature-inspired offerings reflect a shift in homeowner taste toward warm, grounded aesthetics of earth, stone, wood and water.  

Jack Gottesman, marketing director at IKO North America, noted that homeowners want roofs that complement exterior materials, rather than overpower them. Earthy tones, soft greys and rich blacks are increasingly chosen for their ability to blend seamlessly with stone, brick, clay and wood siding. 

Among the top trending colors identified by IKO are wood-toned browns that evoke warmth and stability. Olde Style Weatherwood, available in the Dynasty and Nordic shingle collections, draws inspiration from aged natural wood. Its warm browns and subtle greys pair well with stone facings, neutral siding and bronze or brown trim. Another standout is Dynasty Driftshake, a relaxed shade that brings a breezy, casual feel to homes while complementing light brick, wood accents and soft neutral siding. 

Deep black roofing remains a strong choice for projects featuring natural textures. IKO Dynasty Granite Black delivers contrast and visual depth with a four-color blend that enhances stone, brick and masonry exteriors. Black roofs are particularly popular in sunny regions like California, where performance standards are strict. To meet these needs, IKO developed Dynasty Cool Colors Plus Harbor Black, which achieves an SRI of 20-plus while maintaining rich color depth and compliance with California Title 24 requirements. 

Grey shingles continue to offer versatility and longevity in residential design. Dynasty Summit Grey provides a dramatic yet balanced tone that pairs well with white or grey exteriors, while Frostone Grey offers a lighter, contemporary option inspired by frosted stone and crisp natural textures. 

Choosing a roof color is an opportunity to enhance your home’s character while investing in long-term protection. Nature-inspired shingle shades offer a balance of beauty and performance. With durable options designed to resist wind, impact and harsh weather, homeowners can feel confident their roof will look great for years to come. Exploring IKO’s range of organic, on-trend shingle colors makes it easier to find a solution that fits your style, supports your home’s performance and adds lasting value.
