IKO Product Line Overview

IKO Cambridge Color Palette

The Cambridge line features IKO's most extensive color selection:

Popular Dark Tones

Dual Black:: Deep, consistent black with subtle dimensional variation. Dual Black provides dramatic contrast against light-colored exteriors and is one of IKO's best-selling colors nationally. Pairs beautifully with white, gray, and blue siding.

Charcoal Gray:: A versatile dark gray with neutral undertones. Charcoal Gray works with virtually any exterior color scheme and is the go-to choice for homeowners seeking a modern, clean aesthetic without the starkness of black.

Driftshake:: A sophisticated blend of dark brown and gray tones inspired by weathered wood. Driftshake adds character to craftsman, colonial, and traditional home styles.

Warm Earth Tones

Weatherwood:: One of IKO's most popular colors, Weatherwood features a balanced blend of brown, tan, and gray tones that evoke natural wood grain. It's incredibly versatile and complements most home styles and exterior colors.

Earthtone Cedar:: Rich cedar brown tones with warm highlights that mimic the appearance of natural wood shakes. Earthtone Cedar works particularly well with earth-toned exteriors and natural stone accents.

Harvest Brown:: A deep, warm brown with subtle golden undertones. Harvest Brown pairs well with cream, tan, and warm white exteriors, adding warmth and depth to the roofline.

Desert Tan:: Light sandy tones with warm beige highlights. Desert Tan is popular in Southern and Southwestern markets where it complements stucco, stone, and warm-toned exteriors.

Cool and Specialty Tones

Pacific Rim:: A unique blue-gray blend with cool undertones inspired by coastal landscapes. Pacific Rim offers a distinctive appearance that stands out from standard color options.

Autumn Brown:: Warm reddish-brown with autumn leaf-inspired highlights. This color adds visual warmth and pairs beautifully with brick, stone, and natural wood exteriors.

How to Choose the Right IKO Color

Consider Your Region:: IKO color availability varies by region. Some colors are manufactured at specific plants and may not be available in all markets. Always confirm availability with your local IKO dealer or certified contractor.

Match Your Home's Character:: - Colonial homes: Charcoal Gray, Weatherwood, Harvard Slate - Ranch style: Earthtone Cedar, Desert Tan, Weatherwood - Craftsman: Driftshake, Harvest Brown, Autumn Brown - Modern: Dual Black, Charcoal Gray, Pacific Rim - Coastal: Pacific Rim, Weatherwood, Desert Tan

Think About Curb Appeal:: Your roof is 40% of your home's visible exterior. Choose a color that enhances your home's best features and creates visual harmony with siding, trim, shutters, and landscaping.

Request Samples:: Always view physical samples in natural lighting against your home's exterior before making a final decision. Colors appear dramatically different on a computer screen versus a full roof installation.
