Pick the right roof colour with confidence
Choosing your roof colour is one of those decisions that feels small until it's wrong. Once the steel's on the truck, you're committed — and a do-over costs serious money.
That's why we built this. Try every colour in the Colorbond® range — Surfmist, Monument, Basalt, Ironstone, Manor Red, the lot — on a live preview. Mix and match until you find a combination that suits your house, your street, and the way the light hits your block.

FAQs about the roof colour visualiser
Honestly? Close, but not perfect. What you see on screen is a digital approximation — every monitor and phone shows colour a bit differently. Monument might look a touch cooler on your laptop than it does on your phone.
Use the visualiser to narrow it down to two or three favourites. Then we'll bring real Colorbond chips to your place so you can hold them up against your bricks and render in natural daylight. That's the only way to be 100% sure.
Accurate enough to make smart decisions, not accurate enough to skip the physical samples.
Where the tool really earns its keep is showing you how colours work together. Most people aren't agonising over whether Monument is the exact right grey — they're trying to figure out whether a dark roof or a mid-tone roof suits their house better. The visualiser answers that question in 30 seconds. The shade-matching, we'll handle with real samples on quote day.
Yep — anything in the standard Colorbond range, we can get. The Matt finish range too.
The ones we install most often are Monument, Surfmist, Basalt, Ironstone, Woodland Grey and Manor Red — those six probably account for 80% of the roofs we put on. If you've spotted something specialty or discontinued, give us a call before settling for second-best. There's usually a way to track it down.
Most people pick one colour and run it across all four — roof, gutters, fascias, downpipes. Looks tidy, never goes wrong, and you don't have to think too hard about it.
The other approach is contrasting — a deep Monument roof with crisp Surfmist gutters and fascias, for that Hamptons look that's been doing the rounds. Neither's wrong. The visualiser lets you flip between both in about ten seconds, which is the fastest way to figure out which one your house actually wants.
Yep. Hit Share and you'll get a link that opens the same house with your exact colours — handy for getting your partner's verdict at dinner without having to redo the whole thing from scratch.
Download saves the house as an image you can print, screenshot or send to a designer. We've had customers compare three different schemes side-by-side at the kitchen table this way.
Hit the green Get a Free Quote button. The form below it sends us your colour choices automatically, so we already know what you're after before we even pick up the phone.
Someone will be in touch within one working day to lock in a time to come measure up. We bring the actual Colorbond chips with us, so you can put them up against your house in real daylight before anyone signs anything.
Honestly, anyone who quotes you a number online without seeing the roof is making it up.
Roof size, pitch, condition, access from the ground, whether you've already got tile or metal up there, and which Colorbond product you pick — they all swing the price. The free measure-up is genuinely free with no commitment after. Once we've climbed up and had a proper look, you'll get a clear, itemised number you can actually rely on.
Yep — works on any phone. The house slides to the top of the screen and the colour controls drop underneath.
Everything that works on desktop — sharing, downloading, the eyedropper, the quote button — works on mobile too. Plenty of customers actually use it on their phone while standing in their front yard, holding it up to compare against the bricks.
Definitely — and lots of people do. Sometimes the roof's still got plenty of life in it and just needs a clean and a recoat in the same colour.
The visualiser is worth a play even then: keep the roof as-is and try a fresh gutter or fascia colour. A small accent change can make an old roof look ten years younger without doing the full replacement.
Two warranties, no fine-print games.
Colorbond's own warranty covers the steel itself — depending on the product and your environment, that can run up to 30 years. We give you a separate workmanship warranty on top, covering the install. Both are written into the quote in plain language before any work starts, so there's no ambiguity later.
