Yes. Up to 20-40 degrees in the top part of your house. If its cold climate get dark to help melt snow on roof and white for hot climate to deflect the sun. or a grey type for in the middle. Then again alot of houses dont look good with white looking shingles. Get what looks good and try to go light or dark the most you can to save on them bills...

∙ 15y agoThe colour of the roof has a significant effect on the temperature inside a house unless there is a very large amount of ventilation in the roof space to disperse warm air, and a very high level of ceiling insulation.
A dark roof will absorb much more heat than a light roof, and will conduct or radiate this heat into the roofspace and then into the house.
