Home design is shifting—and homeowners across Texas are embracing more natural, grounded exterior palettes. For 2026, Owens Corning® announced Evergreen Mist as their Shingle Color of the Year, and it’s already becoming one of the most talked-about roofing colors heading into the new year.

If you’re considering a roof replacement or new build, this is a color worth looking at.

What Is Evergreen Mist?

Evergreen Mist is a curated blend of:

Soft greens
Muted blue undertones
Warm tans
Subtle gray-browns

The result is a roof color that feels calm, elevated, and connected to nature—without being overly bold or trendy.

It works beautifully with Texas architecture, especially:

Modern farmhouses
Ranch homes
Craftsman homes
Brick homes in tan, cream, or gray
New construction neighborhoods with nature-inspired palettes

Why This Color Works So Well in Texas

Texas homes deal with extreme sunlight, long summers, and bright landscapes. Evergreen Mist holds up visually because:

1. The blended tones hide dust and heat-streaking.

Texas roofs naturally collect dust and pollen. Because Evergreen Mist uses warm tans and gray-browns woven into the color blend, it looks cleaner longer.

2. Greens and neutrals stay visually cooler in bright light.

Pure black roofs can look harsh in 105° sunshine. Evergreen Mist reflects light in a softer way, giving homes a smoother, calmer appearance—especially at midday.

3. It pairs naturally with Texas landscaping.

Brick, stone, cedar beams, live oaks, beige stucco—Evergreen Mist complements all of them.

Homes That Benefit Most from Evergreen Mist

This color is especially stunning on:✔ Homes with mature trees or wooded lots✔ Newer neighborhoods going for a cohesive, elevated look✔ Properties upgrading from older brown or black shingles✔ Homes wanting stronger curb appeal before selling

Because it’s a blended, dimensional color, it can modernize older homes without clashing with existing exterior choices.
