What colors does GAF Timberline UHDZ come in?
The six colors
- Barkwood: a warm, medium brown blend.
- Charcoal: deep gray to near black, the most common dark choice.
- Pewter Gray: a cool, medium gray.
- Shakewood: a golden blend of browns, tan and amber.
- Slate: a blue gray blend.
- Weathered Wood: a balanced mix of gray and brown.
Why the list is short
UHDZ is GAF's premium Timberline, and GAF focuses it on its proven gray and brown blends. If your heart is set on a regional HDZ color such as Oyster Gray or Williamsburg Slate, or a Bold Definition color such as Midnight Mesa, you will likely need HDZ instead.
How UHDZ changes a color
The dual shadow line and thicker profile add more dark shadow to each course, so a UHDZ roof tends to read with more depth than the same color name on HDZ. Judge colors on actual UHDZ samples, not on HDZ boards.
Availability and the UltraMat version
GAF reworked UHDZ with its UltraMat fiberglass mat, and packages bearing the UltraMat logo and UL 2218 statement are rated Class 4. During any product transition, color availability can vary by market, so ask which colors are stocked in North Georgia in the UltraMat version.
Choosing
Weathered Wood and Charcoal are among GAF's most popular colors overall, a safe bet for resale. Shakewood and Barkwood warm up stone and earth tones, while Slate and Pewter Gray suit cool palettes. See the best shingle colors for Georgia heat and HOA roof approval.
