When it comes to enhancing your home's exterior, aim high. The look of your roof can make or break your property's curb appeal. That's the message of leading roofing expert BP Building Products of Canada (BP Canada) in announcing roofing directions. Topping the list of on-trend roofing colours is grey, but not the standard one we'e used to. Think complex, nuanced grey-beige or“greige” infused with a mix of nature-inspired tones instead. “Black roofing shingles have always been seen as a safe choice for consumers, but now people are starting to realize that softer neu- tral shades like grey can actually add more wow-factor to a home's exterior,’ said Nathalie Lambert, Marketing Director of BP Canada. ‘onsumers want the best of both worlds. — a balance of traditional and contemporary, soothing and invigorating, sober and bold, and a style that asserts individual personality at the same time,’ explained Lambert.

Part of the brand's Mystique Collection, Morning Mist is the first shingle colour of its kind, consisting of a mix of grey, white and brown, and providing con- sumers with an alternative to traditional solid grey options currently on the market. new offering reflects the move towards. more saturated, earthy shingle tones that are less uniform than traditional, monochromatic colour schemes, Lambert explained.
