If it was up to me everything in the world would be blue. Kind of like a Ford-New Holland shade of blue. But that's not gonna happen. LOL

In my part of NWIA I'd say the most common color is chocolate brown or darker green, kind of like a hunter green.

About ten miles north of me there's an older square stately looking farm house that's white with a green steel roof and it doesn't look all that bad.

We put chocolate brown steel on our house. We have yellowish vinyl siding and the contrast is real striking. Been up there ten years and still looking like new, but we used the higher priced steel. A farmer I know has a barn with a slate gray steel roof and darker red steel siding. It's very sharp looking. Dad has a tall 120 year-old two story house in town with darker gray/ tannish steel siding and a chocolate colored steel roof. It's by far the best looking old house in town. I have seen a gray house with a blue steel roof. The color is soothing but in my view it looks like it belongs in an amusement park.

I'd say if you're planning on all the roofs on the farm to eventually be the same color, my personal unbiased (laugh) opinion would be to go with brown. There is a farm in this area with all green roofs and it looks good too, but it's a little too green for my liking. Whatever you chose, you'll get used to it in time. JIm

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
