Terracotta roof tile paint colors.

Contemporary stucco finished homes are trending toward darker duskier finishes. Before deciding on a color and ordering all the paint buy a quart of the color you re considering and paint a large sample swatch on the house. A creamy white is gorgeous with these more red tile roofs instead of terracotta ones. I like sw maison blanche not white technically.

Enhancing the natural qualities of terra cotta by adding a surface texture or glaze mixture prior to firing can create spectacular colors and surfaces that can not be replicated on other materials like asphalt synthetics wood or concrete. You actually have more flexibility that you think. The color you have now looks good with the roof it looks like sw windsor greige and look to sw portabello foryour trim. If possible paint the sample near the roof line so you can see how the colors work together.

Gray or brown tiled roofs are neutral enough to paint almost any house color and still look good. Paint colors such as dune mushroom sand and tan reflect the warm tones in terra cotta. Deeper grays such as gunmetal and thundercloud provide a dramatic contrast with the roof but are. Terra cotta by its very nature is warm earthy and inviting.

Contrasting colors for traditional terra cotta tile include blue green blue gray and green gray all of which provide maximum hue contrast. Light grays intensify the roof color but merge easily with a block of white and terra cotta homes. If you want a new look.
