OMG my mom has been trying for weeks to choose

[fuckyourcouch]

i will only buy a house with fancy shingles. each must be wearing a monocle and hat.

You should do a poll. Without seeing the colors and the house they're going on, I would say driftwood. It's an important decision. She'll have to look at them everyday. But who replaces their roof that is still in good condition?

Y'all are in Florida, right? Tell her to go with the lightest color as it will reflect the sunlight and not absorb it and will keep the house cooler.

you need to fake a passion for one of these colors. OMG, MOM, i cannot LIVE without MORAY BLACK. it is the FAR SUPERIOR choice. please, whatever else you do FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, pick moray black.

[lolc]

Don't go with the lightest, and don't go with the darkest. The lightest color is going to look dirty the quickest (and therefore give the appearance that it's old, even if its not). If she's choosing a shingle roof you aren't ever supposed to power wash it. So I'd say go with the "middle" color of the three.

My mom is like that about EVERYTHING. She will call me a hundred times a week for opinions. Once she had samples of fabric for refurbishing her living room furniture. She went around for weeks asking everyone for opinions, getting the exact stripes she wanted for the chair and the exact flowers for the sofa, with matching undertones, and talked about it again and again and again, comparing with paint swatches to repaint. IT WAS SO PAINFUL.

Then two months after deciding she just couldn't decide, she called and said "Guess what? i just bought all new LR furniture". ALL THAT FOR NOTHING.
