"Hi Anne
There are certain areas that forbid you changing the general appearance of your property and these are normally " areas of outstanding beauty, listed buildings, conservation areas, national trust properties to name a few but in general there is no restriction to changing your roof tile colour to grey, brown or red
You could check with your local council planning department and they will I'm sure advise you if there's any restrictions.
Hope this helps.
