    Bobby, I don't know specifically, BUT if you want to figure out the color of things, have the photo on the screen and then on your computer press, "Control" + "Print Screen" (usually top right of your keyboard & abbreviated "prt sc"). That pastes your entire computer screen into your clipboard. Then open a graphics program (PAINT usually comes free with computers) and start a new document (if you have paint it will open in a new doc). Press "Control" + "V" (for paste) and it will paste the photo in your program. Then look for the EYE DROPPER symbol in your TOOLS MENU. Click on the eye dropper and then click on the color you want to pick up. In this case the green. In paint you'll see the color boxes Color 1 and Color 2. The green color should pop into that box. To the right of that is a rainbow-like area that says "Edit", click on that and it will show you the Hue, Saturation, Lum, Red, Green, and Blue makeup of that color. Today you can ask paint stores and decorators to match that. This one is showing up Hue/117, Sat/16, Lum/109, Red/108, Green/123, Blue 122. Another great place to find colors and color combinations to play with is on ColourLovers.com. (Notice if you used the eye dropper and clicked on the green lines of the shingle separation or the shingles in the shade, you'll pick up a slightly different shade of green, but you'll know what you like.
