    Abstract: A shingle blank comprises a substrate coated with an asphalt coating and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface configured to include a first prime region and a second prime region. The first prime region is substantially covered by prime granules having a first overall visual effect and the second prime region is substantially covered by prime granules having a second overall visual effect different from the first overall visual effect. The shingle blank is capable of being divided into individual cap shingles that can be applied to a roof ridge or hip, with the cap shingles including both the first and second prime regions, thereby enabling the cap shingles to be installed in an overlapping manner on the hip or ridge with either the first or the second prime colors being exposed.
