Default New roof time

It is getting near time for a new roof. I have a medium blown color
shingle now. I think I will go with a lighter shade to lower the
heat
load a bit. Does the color have much of an effect on shingle life?
What is a good long lasting brand of fiberglass/asphalt shingle? Do
roofers typically charge more for a roof with a steeper slope (45
deg).


GAF has 40 year rated reflective shingles, intended to reduce heat
load. Google "GAF cool color". Not cheap though, at least not around
here.
