Having your roof and gutters painted the same colour can give more freedom in colour choices if you decide to change the colour of other exterior parts of your home in the future. You may decide to paint your letterbox, front door, garage door and driveway and having the same colour roof and gutters means you only have one colour to match these to.

One option is to use the same colour but in different tones for your roof and gutters. You may have a dark blue roof with a lighter shade of blue guttering or vice versa. To ensure all the colours on the exterior of your home complement each other, you may choose a gutter colour that matches the exteriors trim. Having your gutters the same colour as window frames, door frames, your letterbox, down pipes and a garage door can work well.
