I am getting quotes for a metal roof. I live in a country setting and want the roof color to go with the setting. I am thinking green or red. Which would keep the house cooler in the summer / warmer in the winter? Regards, Andrea

Generally, reflectivity of these two colors will be very similar. Check with your roofing manufacturer to see if they have reflectivity ratings on their coatings. Also, see if they offer the new reflective pigment finishes for added efficiency. And, ask if there is anything else that can be done when your roof is installed which will enhance energy efficiency. Sometimes, installing products with extra ventilation or with a vented airspace can be very beneficial.
