Owens Corning shows a different shingle palette for each ZIP code. On October 19, 2026, its color selectors for eight ZIP codes (Toledo, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix and Los Angeles) listed 39 distinct colors across five lines: TruDefinition Duration (11 to 16 colors depending on ZIP), Duration Designer (11), Duration FLEX (9), Oakridge (6 to 12) and Supreme 3-tab (5 to 8). This page lists those color names by line and by color family, with an approximate swatch for each and a note where a color appeared only in some ZIPs. Color availability varies by region, and on-screen swatches only approximate the granule blend, so confirm any choice with a physical sample from an Owens Corning contractor before you order.
What colors do Owens Corning shingles come in?
Owens Corning shingles come in blacks, a deep range of grays, browns and tans, plus a smaller set of greens, blues, and warm accent tones. TruDefinition Duration is the main architectural line, and its selector showed 11 to 16 colors depending on ZIP. Oakridge offers a shorter, mostly neutral palette, Supreme covers the budget 3-tab colors, Duration FLEX adds an SBS-modified shingle in 9 colors, and Duration Designer holds designer shades like Merlot, Pacific Wave, and Aged Copper. The table below groups every published color by family so you can compare side by side.
Swatches below are an approximate on-screen representation of a multi-granule blend and will not match a physical shingle exactly. Confirm the final color with a sample board from your contractor.

Owens Corning also retires and adds shades: per Owens Corning’s October 1, 2025 release, Gray Tweed and Mountain Pine joined Duration Designer alongside the 2026 Color of the Year, Evergreen Mist, and Gray Tweed replaced Storm Cloud, which remains regionally available in Duration FLEX. Treat this as a working catalog and verify the current local lineup with a contractor.
Colors by Owens Corning shingle line
Each Owens Corning line carries its own subset of colors, so the shade you want may only exist on certain products. TruDefinition Duration and Oakridge share most standard colors, Supreme covers a shorter budget palette, and Duration Designer and Berkshire hold the bolder or premium tones. Match the color to the line, then to your budget.
TruDefinition Duration and Duration Designer
TruDefinition Duration is the flagship architectural line. Its selector showed 11 to 16 colors depending on ZIP on October 19, 2026: Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood, Brownwood, Teak, Chateau Green, Midnight Plum and Williamsburg Gray in all eight ZIPs checked, with Desert Rose, Terra Cotta, Harbor Blue, Peppercorn, Sierra Gray, Slatestone Gray, Colonial Slate, Quarry Gray, Amber, Desert Tan, Sand Castle and Antique Silver in some. Shasta White now ships as Duration COOL: the August 2026 standard Duration data sheet (Pub. 10024201-E) has no Shasta White swatch. The Designer sub-line showed the same 11 colors everywhere: Aged Copper, Black Sable, Bourbon, Evergreen Mist, Gray Tweed, Merlot, Mountain Pine, Pacific Wave, Sand Dune, Sedona Canyon and Summer Harvest. Duration FLEX showed 9, including Storm Cloud. Duration shingles use SureNail Technology, a woven fabric strip in the nailing zone that Owens Corning rates for winds up to 130 mph when installed to spec.
Oakridge
Oakridge is Owens Corning’s entry laminate, one step above 3-tab, and shares much of the Duration palette in a lighter shingle. Its selector showed 6 to 12 colors by ZIP: Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood, Brownwood and Desert Tan everywhere, Teak in most ZIPs, and regional shades such as Sierra Gray, Amber, Shasta White, Sand Castle, Cliffside Gray and Golden Meadow in some. It suits budgets that want a dimensional look without the Duration price and warranty tier.
Supreme (3-tab)
Supreme is the flat 3-tab line and carries the shortest color list. Its February 2026 data sheet (Pub. 10013324-P) marks Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood and Desert Tan in all five plant service areas (2, 3, 6, 8 and 10), Autumn Brown in every area except 8, Brownwood only in areas 8 and 10, and Teak only in area 10. Shasta White is just as narrow: Owens Corning’s January 15, 2025 letter and the same data sheet list Supreme Shasta White only in plant service area 10, the Irving, TX area covering Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Choose Supreme when budget drives the job or when you are matching an older 3-tab roof. It lacks the shadow lines and higher wind ratings of the laminate lines.
Berkshire
Berkshire was Owens Corning’s slate-style premium laminate, sold in shades such as Manchester Gray, Canterbury Black, Colonial Slate, and Sherwood Beige. On October 19, 2026, the Berkshire product address on owenscorning.com redirected to the general shingles page, so ask a contractor whether it is still available in your area before planning around it.
Most popular Owens Corning colors and best for resale
Owens Corning does not publish sales by color. The colors it offers most widely are neutrals: Onyx Black, Estate Gray and Driftwood appeared on four lines in every ZIP checked. Neutral shades are generally the safer resale choice, because roof color is a large, visible surface a buyer cannot cheaply change. Bold designer tones like Merlot or Aged Copper can suit the right home but may narrow the buyer pool.
- Driftwood: a gray-brown blend offered on Duration, Duration FLEX, Oakridge and Supreme, which makes it easy to match across lines.
- Onyx Black and Estate Gray: dark neutrals that match current buyer preference for charcoal and black roofs.
- Brownwood and Desert Tan: warm neutrals that suit brick, stucco, and earth-tone exteriors.
Our own analysis in the roof color and home resale value report and our roundup of the most popular roof colors both point to neutral grays and blacks as the lowest-risk resale choices across brands. For dark colors in hot climates, weigh attic heat: a lighter shade like Shasta White or a solar-reflective option can lower cooling load.
Owens Corning vs GAF shingle colors
Owens Corning and GAF, the two largest US asphalt shingle makers, offer overlapping neutral palettes under different names. GAF’s Timberline HDZ uses names like Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Weathered Wood, and Barkwood, while Owens Corning uses Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood, and Brownwood for similar tones. The practical differences are the color-blend technology and the nailing system, not a dramatically different set of hues. For warm tones in particular, see Brownwood and Teak against other brands’ brown shingles.
| Tone | Owens Corning (Duration) | GAF (Timberline HDZ) |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Onyx Black | Charcoal |
| Charcoal gray | Estate Gray | Pewter Gray |
| Gray-brown blend | Driftwood | Weathered Wood |
| Warm brown | Brownwood | Barkwood |
| Nailing tech | SureNail woven strip | LayerLock / StrikeZone nailing area |
If you are cross-shopping brands, compare the full GAF shingle color catalog and our head-to-head on Owens Corning vs GAF vs CertainTeed before deciding.

How to choose the right Owens Corning color
Choose an Owens Corning color by testing physical samples against your siding, brick, and trim in real daylight, not from a screen or a small brochure chip. Roof color reads darker and larger on a full roof than on a swatch, and multi-granule blends shift with sun angle. Follow a short process rather than deciding from the catalog alone.
- Confirm the color exists on the line you can afford (Duration, Oakridge, Supreme, or Berkshire).
- Order sample boards, not loose chips, from an Owens Corning contractor and view them on the roof plane at different times of day.
- Hold samples against fixed elements you will not change: brick, stone, and window frames.
- In hot climates, factor attic heat and consider a lighter or solar-reflective shade.
- Check the current warranty and wind rating for that color and line, since ratings depend on installation to Owens Corning spec.
Frequently asked questions
How many colors do Owens Corning Duration shingles come in?
It depends on your ZIP code. On October 19, 2026, Owens Corning’s TruDefinition Duration selector showed 11 to 16 colors across eight ZIP codes checked, with Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood, Brownwood, Teak, Chateau Green, Midnight Plum and Williamsburg Gray offered in all of them. The Duration Designer sub-line adds 11 bolder shades such as Merlot, Pacific Wave and Evergreen Mist. Confirm the current lineup for your ZIP with a local contractor.
What is the most popular Owens Corning shingle color?
Owens Corning does not publish sales by color. The most widely offered colors are neutrals: Onyx Black, Estate Gray and Driftwood appeared on four product lines in all eight ZIP codes checked on October 19, 2026. Its annual Shingle Color of the Year picks were Williamsburg Gray for 2024, Merlot for 2025 and Evergreen Mist for 2026.
What Owens Corning color is best for resale value?
Neutral dark colors are generally the lowest-risk resale choices: Driftwood, Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Brownwood, and Desert Tan. Roof color is a large, expensive-to-change surface, so buyers reward safe, broadly appealing shades. Bold tones like Merlot or Aged Copper can suit the right home but may narrow the pool of interested buyers.
What is the difference between Owens Corning and GAF shingle colors?
Owens Corning and GAF offer similar neutral palettes under different names. Owens Corning Duration uses Onyx Black, Estate Gray, Driftwood, and Brownwood, while GAF Timberline HDZ uses Charcoal, Pewter Gray, Weathered Wood, and Barkwood for comparable tones. The bigger differences are the granule-blend technology and the nailing system, not the range of available hues.
Do Owens Corning shingle colors vary by region?
Yes. Owens Corning stocks different colors and lines by region, and it periodically retires and adds shades, so a color shown nationally may not be available locally. Gray Tweed and Mountain Pine, for example, were announced for the Duration Designer line on October 1, 2025, and Storm Cloud moved to Duration FLEX. Always confirm the current local availability with an Owens Corning contractor before ordering.
