Currently we have one brown roof tile colour. WHile it works wonderfully as is, I would appreciate the addition of another brown coloured roof tile, with a more desaturated look, based on the roof tiles found in Southern Spain and North Africa, as well as many areas of the Mediterranean. This would make it so that the southernmost projects have additional choices when building their roofs. I wouldn't make too different to the current brown slate, about the same degree of difference as orange and red-orange have. Here are some pics of the colour I'm after.
As you can see the tiles are basically within the same range as our current brown roof tiles, but more desaturated, "dusty" and light. And occasionally I can see a pinkish undertone on them, compared to the more yellow current brown roof tile.

Roof tiles in southern Iberia, North Africa and many areas of the Mediterranean have a desaturated brown look, partly due to weather exposure wearing them out.
