Seagreen Slate
This is the most popular of all Vermont slates. It starts out as a clear grey/green and then due to atmospheric moisture over a couple of years, most of the pieces will begin to change color making the end result a rainbow of browns, buffs, rusts, etc… It makes an exceptional looking roof and can be seen all over the Northeastern United States.
