You’re getting ready to replace the shingles on your roof. Here’s a question you may not have considered: What color do you choose? To be sure, 
the decision of what colors go where is not just a debate for the inside of your home. Shingle color may impact your home in many ways. Here are some things to consider:
Climate. Do you live where the hot sun beats down on your roof 365 days a year? Or do you live in a colder climate? Light-colored shingles reflect light, while dark-colored shingles absorb heat and light. So a darker roof may help warm the inside of your home, and a lighter roof may help keep it cooler. Something to consider in these days of expensive utilities.
Complement vs Contrast. Depending on the color of the exterior of your home, you could choose shingles that are either similar in color or provide a stark contrast between the roof and the house. If you want to blend, choose similar colors. If you want your roof to stand out, choose a color that is vastly different than the exterior of your home.
Choose your medium. Shingles made of different materials offer different benefits. Asphalt retains heat, which makes these shingles a good choice for cold or variable climates. Clay shingles repel heat, making them perfect for warmer climates. Wood shingles are usually durable and fairly easy to replace. There are many options when it comes to roofing. Talk to your roofing specialist for details.
