GAF Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat Charcoal specs.
Every figure a contractor or an insurer will ask about, with the standard it is measured against.
What you're looking at.
The granule tones the blend is built from, how the colour is classified, and how it behaves on a roof.
Charcoal sits at the deepest end of the Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat catalog. There is no underlying gray or blue trying to soften it. In direct sun the surface barely changes; in shade it disappears into pure shadow. That refusal to shift is exactly what makes it work as a graphic anchor against any siding color.
The granule blend is built on a deep carbon base with a faint slate accent that prevents the surface from going dead flat. Up close you can see the dimensional shadow line that gives the Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat profile its premium feel; from the street it reads as one solid color.
Pairs cleanly with white, off-white, navy, deep green, sage, and warm wood siding. It is the safest color in the catalog if you have not committed to a paint palette yet.

About Charcoal.
Questions homeowners ask before they commit. Answered without sales spin.
A true deep black with no visible blue, brown, or red undertone. In bright Florida sun it stays black; in shade it reads as pure shadow. The granule blend is a tight mix of carbon and charcoal granules that gives the surface dimensional texture without lifting the perceived color.
