The full Colorbond range covers everything from crisp whites and soft neutrals through to bold charcoals and deep greens. The Matt collection adds a modern, low-sheen alternative for homes where you want a softer look.
All Colorbond colours are designed by BlueScope's colour specialists to work with Australian light conditions. They are tested for UV resistance, salt spray tolerance and thermal performance, so you can be confident they will hold their colour for years.
How to Choose Your Roof Colour
Match Your Exterior
Consider your brick, render or cladding colour. Neutral roof colours like Surfmist and Shale Grey work with almost anything. Darker tones like Monument and Basalt create striking contrast against lighter walls.
Think About Climate
Lighter colours reflect more heat, which can reduce cooling costs in Maitland's warm summers. Surfmist and Dover White are the most heat-reflective options in the range.
Consider Your Street
Look at what works in your neighbourhood. A roof colour that harmonises with nearby homes maintains property value and kerb appeal. Heritage areas may have colour guidelines worth checking.
Personal Preference
Your roof is one of the most visible parts of your home. Choose a colour you will be happy with for decades. Our roofers can bring Colorbond sample swatches to your property so you can see how they look in your light conditions.
