What is the best color for roof shingles?

According to Angie's List, dark-colored shingles are best for roofs, as they help retain and create heat during the cold winter months. The best color for roof shingles is a subjective question, with the answer depending primarily on the preference of the homeowner and the color of the existing siding.

Angie's List holds that a shingle color that contrasts and complements the existing siding color provides the most curb appeal to the average homeowner. Shingle colors should not be too flashy or unique, as homeowners may have a difficult time finding buyers with similar tastes if they have to sell their homes in the future.
