I've read that even the colored metal roof are very reflective, but are the dark colored metals such as blue or green as reflective (thus cooler inside) than the whites and much lighter colors? If a difference, is it significant? thanks in advance, mitch

Lighter colors are more reflective. However, some manufacturers use special reflective pigments in their darker colors which help. Todd Miller
