Owens Corning New Shingle Color “Evergreen Mist” for 2026

EEstaging • 14 October 2025

"Evergreen Mist” has been officially announced as the 2026 Shingle Color of the Year for its TruDefinition Duration shingles by Owens Corning

Understanding the significance of color in roofing materials can enhance your choice. For instance, lighter colors can help reduce heat absorption, leading to cooler attic temperatures, which can ultimately save energy costs. Conversely, darker colors may be more suited for colder climates as they can absorb warmth. Evergreen Mist strikes a balance, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.



As you explore roofing options, consider how Owens Corning’s Evergreen Mist not only elevates the visual appeal of your home but also provides practical benefits.

The color is described as evoking the “quiet beauty of a mist-covered garden path,” blending green tones with subtle neutrality to make it versatile for various architectural styles.

Alongside Evergreen Mist, Gray Tweed and Mountain Pine are also being introduced into the TruDefinition Designer palette.

All three new colors will be available to order starting January 1, 2026.

The shingles still include the brand’s SureNail® Technology to deliver performance (wind resistance, durability, etc.) in addition to the color aesthetics.


When selecting a shingle color, consider the architectural style of your home. For example, traditional homes often look stunning with earthy colors like Evergreen Mist, while modern homes may do well with bolder shades. Pairing the right color with the right style can significantly enhance the home’s curb appeal.

Adding new colors for a Palette of Possibilities

Gray Tweed and Mountain Pine are two additional colors as part of its TruDefinition® Duration® Designer line, a premium collection that offers a vibrant selection of exclusive colors to elevate curb appeal and express a homeowner’s unique style. Combining classic gray with a timeless elegance of textile, Gray Tweed brings a rich, dimensional gray interspersed with flecks of soft browns and black to create quiet sophistication that transforms any home exterior into a haven of warmth and charm.


Moreover, the impact of color can extend beyond mere aesthetics. For instance, studies have shown that homes with appealing colors can increase property value. Evergreen Mist is not just about beauty; it’s a strategic choice for those looking to invest in their property.



In terms of trends, home design has increasingly leaned towards natural tones, and Evergreen Mist aligns perfectly with this movement. It is also worth noting that the color trends in roofing can sometimes influence indoor design choices, as homeowners often seek to create a harmonious flow between the exterior and interior.


Gray Tweed is replacing Storm Cloud in the TruDefinition® Duration® color portfolio. Storm Cloud will remain regionally available in the Duration FLEX® product line.


The introduction of Gray Tweed and Mountain Pine alongside Evergreen Mist also offers versatility. For homes with multiple roof planes or sections, using different colors can create a striking visual effect. Homeowners might consider using Evergreen Mist for the main roof and Gray Tweed for the porch or garage, effectively highlighting distinct areas of the property.


Furthermore, integrating different colors allows for personal expression. Homeowners can reflect their personality and taste through their roofing choices, making their home truly unique. Whether you prefer a more conservative look with Gray Tweed or a fresh, vibrant touch with Evergreen Mist, the options are plentiful.

Considering the longevity and quality of the shingles is crucial as well. The SureNail® Technology used in these shingles ensures that they are not only visually appealing but also built to withstand the elements. This means you can enjoy the beauty of Evergreen Mist without worrying as much about wear and tear over time.


Lastly, it’s essential to consult with roofing professionals who understand your local climate and architecture. They can provide insights on how certain colors hold up over time and how they might be affected by regional weather patterns. This knowledge can be invaluable in making a final decision on your roofing color, ensuring that the choice of Evergreen Mist, Gray Tweed, or Mountain Pine is right for your home.
