What do Color Code Numbers indicate for CertainTeed shingles?

• A. A code indicating the color on each bundle of CertainTeed shingles; color code number must match.
• B. A code representing warranty category.
• C. A code used to indicate granule size.
• D. A code used to identify when the shingles were manufactured.

Answer: (A)

Color code numbers are used to identify the actual color of the shingles in a bundle. They let you verify that shingles from different bundles will match when installed, by cross-checking the code with the manufacturer’s color chart or plan. This ensures color consistency across the roof, even if you’re pulling shingles from different pallets.

The code isn’t about warranty category, granule size, or when the shingles were manufactured, so those factors aren’t indicated by the color code number.
