Some roofs on prestige buildings (temples, palaces etc)were traditionally multi-coloured, using mainly brown, green and orange tiles. Now there is a growing fondness for blue roofs.
And there used to be strict rules about the numbers of roof layers allowed for different buildings,to ensure that multi-layered roofs were reserved for the important buildings as a status symbol.
