Owens Corning publishes this line's color swatches only through an interactive selector that this knowledge base cannot read, so no color list is asserted here; confirm colors on the manufacturer's page or on a physical sample board. Zilker Roofing installs this line and is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor — a network tier Owens Corning describes as independent roofing contractors who meet high standards and strict requirements for professionalism and reliability, and the tier Owens Corning says is authorized to offer its extended System Protection and Preferred Protection limited warranties (https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/blog/roofers; https://www.owenscorning.com/en-us/roofing/warranty).
Important Distinction
Note: A manufacturer's warranty is the manufacturer's, on the manufacturer's terms — registration, matched components and installation conditions decide what is covered, and a tier name is not a quality verdict on any individual roof. A UL 2218 class is a laboratory impact test result, not a promise about hail, and whether an insurer discounts for it is the insurer's decision. Which line fits a specific roof is a job-by-job determination made after an inspection.
