***As I recall that particular stink was less about the tile and more about the blue color.

Could be. I remember that house really standing out in the neighborhood. You could see it from Kamehameha Highway. (at least it wasn’t purple, I guess...)

Roof color slide - my uncle, may he rest in peace, had a house built in Florida when they moved there from Columbus, Oh some 20-25 years ago. He spec’ed things a little different. Longer overhangs to provide shade to the windows in the high sun, and a white shingle roof rather than dark like almost everyone else in the civilized world.
His goal was to keep the AC bills down, and he was pretty shrewd about such things.
Uncle Lew, it is said, was able to get free lodging on a trip one time because he offered to trade repairing the room’s AC for a free night. All he did was clean the outside (condenser) coils which had become caked with dirt. And easy night of free lodging. (probably not a high-end hotel since Uncle Lew was also quite thrifty).
