weathering can occur. Sometimes
called "Strata Gray."
Royal Purple - A beautiful, nearly
clear, dark purple slate. Some pieces may have small markings of
green. Provides a contrasting roof for walls of light shades, or a
harmonizing roof for brick walls. Some weathering to buffs can
occur.
Semi-Weathering Gray-Green - This is
an exceedingly strong and tough. 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.

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.
