Just kinda thinking off the top of my head here.

1) Take a pic of your roof, then print it. Go outside and hold it up, looking at the roof and the pic. Adjust colors on the pic and print again till you have a good match.

2) Most all paint stores have a scanner type of device to match colors. Have them scan your pic to get a match.
