Grayish-Green in color when quarried, this slate can gradually change to softer tones after exposure to the weather, adding variety and interest to the roof, but in no way affecting their durability. This slate blends well with any type of stone or frame structure and is also used as the basic percentage, usually 50%, in roofs where several colors are mixed.

Semi-Weathering Gray - A traditional slate-gray color ranging from a clear appearance to having small black markings. Weathering of 15% – 20%, to buffs and tans can be expected.

Unfading* Green - A Vermont favorite, this slate is green with shades varying slightly.

Unfading* Gray - A battleship gray slate with some clouded grayer markings.

Vermont Black - One of our most popular colors. Primarily unfading but some weathering can occur, creating an interesting blend of dark gray tones, adding character to roofs of all styles.

Variegated Purple - A purple slate varying in shade from purple predominating to green predominating. A semi-weathering type slate where approximately 15% will weather to buffs and tans.

* All natural slate products may change in color. Those slates in which the color changes but slightly are classed as "Permanent" or "Unfading". (National Slate Association: January 1925)
