Metal roofing finally arrived, maybe the correct color?

 One promise that ended up true . . Roofing was delivered yesterday 1/21/21!  

I immediately noticed the color noted on the packing slip is different than the color we ordered. We ordered leaf green after comparing a sample to the existing building back in Nov 2019. The color here . . forest green. We are hopeful it is close enough, but seriously. This supplier has two greens, how does this happen? I did notice on the phase 1 selections sheet from GC (shown on top below), that the roof color just says 'green', however when we were given the metal sample she said it would be for roof and gutters. 


Also notice on this packing slip. ORDER DATE: 1/15/21. Really? After GC SWORE it was ordered back in mid-December and the pandemic was slowing it down due to factory delays? Yeah, ok. 

Sample sheet online - impossible to tell on a computer screen

These were the two physical samples we were able to bring home to compare back in 2019


It looks like it will end up darker than the existing building. Today we had a site visit from our project manager, Andy. He noticed a few other framing issues we need to resolve, fun. He called back later and said he spoke with the roofer who indicated he would be starting before Wednesday (1/27/21). I see we have snow in the forecast now.  . 

Existing gutter vs existing trim

Same existing gutter vs new roofing material for the house
We would love to open a pallet and throw one up on the existing roof to compare but  GC PM said it would be best to wait and let the roofer do it in case something got damaged. He is probably right.
