Roof Shingle matching

This past winter I lost a few shingles off of my roof. About a 8'x 8' area. The roof is about 13 years old. I would like to replace the missing shingles with the same color shingle. I found out that the old shingles were the brand 'Rain Bird?'. I can not find a shingle that matches the old ones, talking to contractors and supply houses. Can anyone tell me how to go about finding a match?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

The best thing would be to just take a sample to a roofing supplier and try to get as close as possible. Even if you were to find the original manufacturer and color, your shingles are obviously sun faded so getting an exact match will be nearly impossible.
