Because asphalt shingles have dye lot differences and fade over time, it may be impossible to get an exact match. Your best chance is to buy the same shingle from the same manufacturer as soon as possible.

It is often difficult to match replacement shingles with existing ones due to weathering and differences in manufacturing. Staggering the joints can help to blend the colors, or running to a ridge may also help to disguise the difference.
