Terracotta roof tile paint colors.

Contemporary stucco finished homes are trending toward darker duskier finishes. 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.

Gray is another option. 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. The color you have now looks good with the roof it looks like sw windsor greige and look to sw portabello foryour trim. Light grays intensify the roof color but merge easily with a block of white and terra cotta homes.

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. Contrasting colors for traditional terra cotta tile include blue green blue gray and green gray all of which provide maximum hue contrast. The fiery red orange tile pairs with sage green walls. You actually have more flexibility that you think.

If you want a new look. I like sw maison blanche not white technically. If possible paint the sample near the roof line so you can see how the colors work together.
