Introducing Owens Corning’s 2026 Shingle Color of the Year

Every year, Owens Corning spotlights a shingle color that defines home exterior trends. For 2026, that color is Evergreen Mist, a soft, modern green inspired by the subtle tones of nature.

What Makes Evergreen Mist Stand Out

A Modern Take on Natural Tones

Evergreen Mist blends gray undertones with muted green hues, creating a calming yet elevated aesthetic. It complements neutral siding colors (from beige to charcoal) and pairs beautifully with brick or stone accents common in Midwest homes.

Inspired by the Great Lakes Landscape

Owens Corning’s design team drew inspiration from the lush forests and freshwater landscapes surrounding the Great Lakes. The color reflects the serene transition between land and water, capturing the essence of outdoor living, a perfect fit for Ohio and Michigan’s natural charm.

How Evergreen Mist Complements Midwest Architecture

From century-old brick homes in Cleveland, to lakeside cottages near Toledo, and modern ranches around Detroit, Evergreen Mist’s versatile tone enhances any architectural style.

The shingle’s cool undertone adapts beautifully to the region’s changing seasons, soft against winter snow, and rich under summer sunlight. Owens Corning designed it to harmonize with both warm and cool exterior palettes, making it a timeless option for homeowners who value style and design cohesion.

Why Color Matters When Choosing Your Roof

Your roof covers up to 40% of your home’s exterior, making color a major design element. The right shade can transform your home’s character, increase resale value, and create a lasting first impression.
