When I first came to the Hamptons I was surprised to see dark shingles on the older homes in the area. I had spent many summers on Cape Cod where the shingles tend to have a silvery tone. I then learned that the shingles on the Cape are mostly white cedar and the shingles in the Hamptons tend to be red cedar. The red cedar turns a rich brown as they weather making a nice crisp contrast with white trim.
