It's late in the year but my ex's roof is leaking and she isn't sure
what color the new one should be.

Here in the mid-Alantic states, the avoidance of absorbing heat in the
summer is far more important than the avoidance of reflecting heat in the
winter. It seems as if there is insignificant heat to absorb during our
depths of winter. I'm more concerned about insulation to keep my generated
heat inside the house.

That being the case, I recommend shingling your roof with mirrors. Enjoy the
low cooling bills!
