Residential Roofing · CertainTeed Colors
30+ colors from the Select ShingleMaster installer St. Louis trusts
CertainTeed offers one of the broadest residential shingle color palettes in the industry, with more than 30 colors across the Landmark, Landmark Pro, and Presidential lines. Revolve Construction holds CertainTeed's Select ShingleMaster credential — the top tier of CertainTeed's contractor certification program — which qualifies us to register SureStart Plus warranties, CertainTeed's strongest warranty coverage combining materials and workmanship under a single manufacturer-backed document. The Landmark series is CertainTeed's benchmark architectural shingle — a genuine two-layer laminate with 110 mph wind resistance and CertainTeed's StreakFighter algae resistance. Landmark Pro upgrades the profile with enhanced shadow line and more saturated color expression. Presidential Shake is the premium designer tier — a heavy laminate with a natural hand-split cedar aesthetic at a fraction of the weight and maintenance burden of actual cedar. CertainTeed's Max Def color sub-line applies a high-definition granule technology that produces noticeably stronger color contrast and dimensional depth across the standard Landmark palette. For homeowners who want the most visually impactful shingle available in a dimensional profile, Max Def is the specification worth evaluating. This page covers every major color in the CertainTeed residential lineup and how they perform on St. Louis home styles.
Why homeowners and businesses trust Revolve
Select ShingleMaster — CertainTeed's top certification tier
Revolve's Select ShingleMaster status is not a participation certificate — it is CertainTeed's highest contractor credential, earned through verified installation training and maintained project standards. It is the requirement for registering SureStart Plus warranties, which cover both materials and workmanship under a single manufacturer-backed document.
Max Def: high-definition color for maximum visual impact
CertainTeed's Max Def color technology applies enhanced granule contrast to the standard Landmark palette, producing noticeably deeper shadow lines and stronger color saturation than standard Landmark. For homeowners for whom shingle appearance is a priority, Max Def is the most cost-effective upgrade available within the Landmark line.
Presidential Shake: premium profile without cedar's maintenance burden
Presidential Shake delivers a heavy laminate profile with a hand-split cedar aesthetic — more shadow, more texture, and more visual weight than any standard dimensional shingle. It carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty, qualifies for SureStart Plus coverage, and installs on standard roof deck without the structural weight of actual wood shake.
What we offer
Moiré Black & Charcoal Black
Moiré Black is CertainTeed's deepest color — a true near-black with subtle blue variation. Charcoal Black is a dark gray-charcoal. Both read boldly on contemporary and transitional architecture.
Weathered Wood & Burnt Sienna
Weathered Wood is CertainTeed's most popular brown-gray — a natural complement to tan and cream exteriors. Burnt Sienna is a warm red-brown that energizes red-brick homes.
Heather Blend & Georgetown Gray
Heather Blend is one of the most distinctive colors in the line — a warm gray-brown with subtle purple undertone. Georgetown Gray is a sophisticated blue-gray with a distinctly architectural character.
Cobblestone Gray & Driftwood
Cobblestone Gray is a medium neutral gray that reads cleanly against virtually any siding color. Driftwood is a gray-brown neutral with slightly warmer undertones than Cobblestone.
Hunter Green & Resawn Shake
Hunter Green is CertainTeed's saturated green — ideal for homes in wooded or natural settings. Resawn Shake in Max Def delivers the most convincing natural wood aesthetic in the standard shingle format.
Max Def Colors & Presidential Line
Max Def versions of Charcoal Black, Weathered Wood, Georgetown Gray, and others deliver enhanced depth. Presidential Shake offers a premium heavy-profile laminate in six colors for homeowners who want maximum visual character.

Landmark and Landmark Pro: The CertainTeed Architectural Shingle Palette
CertainTeed's Landmark series offers more than 30 colors across the standard and Max Def sub-lines — the broadest palette among the three major manufacturers. This breadth has a practical benefit for St. Louis homeowners: the probability of finding an exact match to an HOA-specified color, an unusual brick tone, or a specific architectural color requirement is higher with CertainTeed than with GAF or Owens Corning's narrower palettes.
Moiré Black is CertainTeed's deepest, most distinctive color — a true near-black with subtle tonal variation that reads as architectural-grade dark on any home style. Charcoal Black is a deep gray-charcoal, slightly lighter and cooler than Moiré Black, that serves the same broad applicability function that Charcoal serves in the GAF line. Both are strong choices for contemporary, transitional, and traditional architecture throughout the St. Louis metro.
Weathered Wood is CertainTeed's gray-brown neutral — the position in the palette that maps to what Driftwood is in the OC line or Weathered Wood is in the GAF line. It is the most popular brown-tone in the CertainTeed line by installation volume in the St. Louis market. Burnt Sienna is the warm red-brown in the palette, a flattering complement to red-brick homes with warm-tone mortar. Heather Blend is the most distinctive color CertainTeed offers in standard architectural shingles — a warm gray-brown with subtle purple undertone that reads uniquely on homes with gray stone, weathered brick, or gray siding.
Georgetown Gray is a sophisticated blue-gray that reads as a distinctly architectural color choice — stronger and more directional than a neutral gray, appropriate for homes where the roof is intended to be a design element rather than a background feature. Cobblestone Gray is a medium neutral gray that occupies the universal-applicability position in the line. Driftwood in the CertainTeed line is a slightly warmer gray-brown than Cobblestone. Hunter Green, Resawn Shake in Max Def, and additional colors cover specialized applications.
Max Def Colors: High-Definition Technology for Maximum Visual Impact
CertainTeed's Max Def technology is a granule formulation approach that applies enhanced color contrast and depth to the standard Landmark palette. The visual result is a shingle that reads with more variation, more shadow line, and more natural-looking dimension than the standard Landmark version of the same color. Where standard Landmark Charcoal Black reads as a consistent deep gray, Max Def Charcoal Black reads with contrast between the darker base granules and slightly lighter blend granules — approximating the look of natural slate or aged wood shake more closely.
Max Def versions are available in the highest-demand Landmark colors: Charcoal Black, Weathered Wood, Georgetown Gray, Heather Blend, and others. The price premium over standard Landmark is modest — making Max Def the equivalent of TruDefinition Duration in the OC line: a visual upgrade that costs marginally more and is worth the difference on any project where appearance is a meaningful consideration.
For homeowners evaluating Max Def versus the standard Landmark line, the recommendation is consistent with what we advise for all premium-shingle-within-a-line upgrades: if your budget allows the modest increase, the visual result justifies it. Standard Landmark is a high-quality product; Max Def Landmark is that product with improved curb appeal.
How to Choose Your CertainTeed Color: HOA, Sun Exposure, and Resale
CertainTeed's broader palette creates a specific benefit for homeowners in HOA communities: the palette depth increases the probability of matching an HOA-specified color without requiring a custom order or formal exception process. St. Louis HOA color lists most commonly reference shades in the gray, gray-brown, and tan range — all of which CertainTeed covers with multiple options in each color family.
Sun exposure affects how CertainTeed shingles age visually. South-facing and west-facing roof planes in the St. Louis climate receive the most intense UV exposure and exhibit more granule migration over the shingle's life than north-facing planes. This is not a reason to avoid darker colors, but it is a reason to set realistic expectations: a 20-year-old dark shingle will read several shades lighter than it did new due to UV-driven granule fading. StreakFighter algae resistance — standard on all Landmark products — addresses algae staining separately from UV fading.
Resale value research in the residential real estate market is consistent across all manufacturers: neutral colors in the gray, gray-brown, and medium tan range generate the broadest buyer appeal and produce no negative reactions from prospective buyers. Moiré Black and Charcoal Black are increasingly accepted as high-desirability choices on contemporary homes. Heather Blend and Burnt Sienna are excellent on the right home but are directional enough to be a personal taste factor for buyers.
Presidential Shake and the Select ShingleMaster Warranty Advantage
Presidential Shake is CertainTeed's premium laminate profile — a heavy, multi-layer shingle with deep shadow lines and pronounced tab-to-tab variation that produces a convincing hand-split cedar-shake aesthetic from the street. It weighs more than standard architectural shingles and requires a structurally sound deck, but it installs without the fire-rating, maintenance, and weight concerns of actual cedar shake. Available in six colors with a Lifetime Limited Warranty and qualifying for SureStart Plus coverage.
CertainTeed's SureStart Plus warranty is the manufacturer's combined materials and workmanship warranty — available only through Select ShingleMaster contractors. Revolve Construction holds the Select ShingleMaster credential — CertainTeed's highest contractor certification tier. That credential is not a participation certificate; it requires demonstrated training, project history, and ongoing compliance with CertainTeed's installation standards.
For homeowners choosing CertainTeed, Revolve's Select ShingleMaster status is the practical differentiator: it is the requirement for registering SureStart Plus coverage that provides the strongest warranty protection available for CertainTeed roofing systems. The warranty difference between a Select ShingleMaster installation and a standard contractor installation is the difference between manufacturer-backed workmanship coverage and no workmanship warranty beyond the contractor's own guarantee.
