Yeah, I wondered why there were lots of blue roofs. Maybe there's a local company who provide blue roofs? Or it's a local material?

Perhaps its lucky to have a blue roof?

I did a quick google. It seems a lot of temples use blue temples to symbolise sky, so it's a cultural choice.

Another quick Google says that a lot of warehouses have blue roofs.

A lot of them are houses also. The larger ones are warehouses.

I also reverted to the oracle of google & saw one that said all factories for manufacturer & distribution of overseas goods have blue roofs?

I brought a tomato into work and suggested he made a pyramid out of paper or some other substance of his choice. He decided against.

I would have gone for salt.

Add some sugar and vinegar and we'd have had some tomato ketchup. That keeps pretty well unless I keep it on the table in reach of the Generalissimos.
