The shingle color on your house has changed over the years because of granule loss. As has been stated, even if you used the same brand in the same color, from the same batch that you had left over from the first repair there would be a color variance. That doesn’t even take into account the other variable of different colors between different lots/batches that were run a day a week or a month apart, much less several years. If you’re really set on getting as close as possible, go to your supplier, grab a handful of some of both from a busted bundle, toss them down on the roof and see what ya think. I wouldn’t though. I’d probably go with the same brand I had, just because, in the same color, do the repair and move on to worrying about something you can control instead of something you can’t. You’ll be fine. Nobody looks at shingles anyway. It ain’t like you’re got 3 different colors of shutters on your front elevation windows. Even if you can see 2 sides from a corner, it just ain’t gonna matter that much. It’ll be fine.
