Does The Roof Color matter When Buying A House?

It sounds like a strange question, but roof color is one of the many factors worth considering when shopping for a home to buy.

Apart from the general look of the roof and how it matches with the rest of building, roof color can affect energy efficiency in a home. In colder climates, a dark colored roof can be a good option because it absorbs more heat. In temperate climates, a middle-range shade might be a better option. A light-colored roof tends to reflect the heat, so could provide energy savings in regions where air-conditioning is used throughout the year.
