Do roof shingles have to come from the same dye lot for the color to match?
Technically the dye lot needs to be the same in order for the shingle to match exactly. With some shingle colors you really wont notice and depending on the pitch of the roof you wont notice either. However if you have a steep pitch where you can see the roof from the ground, you will notice color variations in different dye lots. In order to use same shingle colors with different dye lots the shingle installer must stagger the colors within each other to break up the differences. This will actually make the installation look very sharp.
