Danum TLE roof tile disappointment

[Selfbuildsarah]

Started roofing and I’m slightly disappointed that the appearance of our Danum TLE roof tiles looks almost plum coloured instead of dark grey. Will the colour change when it weathers in? Certainly doesn’t look dark grey to me 🫤

I see what you mean about the slight plum tinge but there is not much you can do about it now.  Once you have fascia, gutters and external wall finishes installed and after a year of weathering I doubt you or anyone would notice.  I had some dark grey Sandtoft 2020 clay tiles fitted on a project and was surprised that the grey colour was a coating rather than the natural clay colour.

It’s really bugging me. Doesn’t help that the houses near us have nice sharp looking dark grey tiles 🫤
