3-Tab asphalt shingles are the most economical shingles on the market, these shingles are often referred to as builder-grade shingles, and they are mostly installed on new construction homes and some investment properties. Great choice, if you have an extremely tight budget.
Aesthetics: They provide a slate shingle look.

The average cost to tear off and replace your roof in Orange Park with Architectural Shingles.
Architectural asphalt shingles also known as dimensional shingles are heavier than the 3-tab shingles and will provide you a much better wind rating than the much lighter 3-tab shingles
Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as laminated or dimensional shingles because during the production of the shingle the manufacturer laminates shingle parts together. This laminated part creates depth or provides dimension, fun fact, this shingle was designed to look like real wood shingles.
So, in my opinion, the darker colors, especially the brown colors, typically look more natural, because they resemble a real wood shake shingle roof more than the gray colors or lighter gray colors do. Hey, maybe it's because I know they were designed to look like wood shingles and wood shingles are brown…right?
This is also the most popular of the asphalt shingles used today.
