Would a black metal roof heat the house more so than any other color?

Lighter colors are naturally more reflective than darker colors. So a lighter color will be more energy efficient. Some manufacturers may offer black with a special pigment that reflects radiant heat. Also, there are other ways through product design and installation to boost energy efficiency. It doesn't have to be just with color. Metal roofing has a wide variety of colors. I would sure check them out as that is part of the beauty of metal. Todd Miller
