Dark shingles reflect as little as 5% of sunlight and can reach 170&deg;F on a 70&deg;F day, so the asphalt in the core may dry out and become brittle faster. White shingles reflect up to 35% by comparison and stay cooler. Dark roofs aren&#8217;t recommended for hot desert or tropical climates, but can be beneficial further north because they shed snow faster and less heat escapes through the roof.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2bd9048 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b2bd9048\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n<table class=\"responsive-table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Time to Read<\/b><\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;

While there&#8217;s nothing wrong with a little curb appeal, you should know that the color you decide to go with can affect so much more than just how your home looks.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, darker shades like black and brown will absorb more heat and UV rays than lighter colors like gray or white. Surface temperature and sun exposure are the top two contributors to shingle degradation. That&#8217;s bad news for your roof, but lighter shingles have drawbacks, too.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, you&#8217;ll learn about the trade-offs between each option, why some colors perform better in certain climates, and get helpful reminders for other factors to consider before you choose a shade.

asphalt shingles. That&#8217;s a by-product of the fact that they wear out so much faster in environments like these.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, it&#8217;s much more common for them to have either white shingles or roofs made from entirely different materials, like metal or clay. They perform better and last longer in environments like these.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In more temperate regions and areas with <strong>very cold winters,<\/strong> you&#8217;re more likely to find dark shingles instead. This isn&#8217;t a coincidence! Because darker colors absorb heat faster, snow melts faster and less heat tends to escape through the roof.<\/span><\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table below will lay out some helpful suggestions for navigating this trade-off based on the climate where you live.
