LA/MS-area DUers: what are popular roof colors there?
I happen to have a shitload of shingles sitting in my overhead, for once. My boss figured he'd just pull all of the ones that don't sell and send them to Louisiana.

I stopped him because I feel that with all of the shit you guys are going through down there, being forced to install a shingle color you don't like just because you've got a bare roof and all that's there is weird crap everyone dumped on your area just to clear out their overheads is a downer you shouldn't have to face. Your spirits will be much better if you can put a roof you like on your home.

I got in my computer and tried to look at the Louisiana and Mississippi Home Depot stores' sales figures, thinking that if gray shingles are the best-selling shingles in your stores, I'd send you gray shingles. (Or whatever color you guys like.) Unfortunately, there's a problem: the shingles I sell are from a different company than the one your stores get theirs from.

The colors I have in my store are:
30 year Architectural (laminated) shingle: black, tan, dark gray, light gray and kind of a dirty brown

25 year three-tab shingle: black, dark gray, light gray, dark brown, tan and white

Let me know and, once Home Depot tells us to start transferring building materials to the flood area, I can pull them and ship them out.

1. Gray/dark gray seemed to be the favorite in my parents' neighborhood.

2. Okay, thanks. Got it written down.
All else: Is white a real popular color, because I've got probably six skids of those.

3. That's wonderful.
Really nice that you'll be sending shingles, and caring about what color people want. Keep asking so people will see this post.
