Also, the color doesn’t make that much of a difference. Like a percentage you can count on one hand. Much more significant gains can be had from ridge vents and other ways of getting the heat out of the attic, and insulation to keep that heat from going into the house.

At least according to my acquaintance in the roofing industry, and obvs this is regarding typical US/Canada SFHs

i could see the utility in it providing natural drafting for ventilation, but honestly, with the advent of modern homes moving towards insulated attics and loft spaces, that's definitely the correct choice.
