What color siding goes with a copper roof?

Copper is a warm metallic that develops a green patina over time, so siding choices should account for both the bright new look and the aged one. Soft neutrals win: warm white, cream, greige, and sage green all let the copper be the star while aging gracefully alongside the patina.

For contrast, deep charcoal or navy siding makes new copper pop dramatically, which suits modern and craftsman homes. Avoid competing warm metallics and strong reds, which fight copper rather than frame it.

If only an accent (a bay, porch, or dormer) is copper, repeat a hint of its tone elsewhere so it reads as intentional.
