We ended up using a very similar product when we had our roof installed (we chose a different color though).

Color tends to be a very personal choice - but I'd say go for the highest SRI (Solar Reflectance Index) color you like. The Solar White is VERY reflective and will definitely minimize heat gain in the summer.

Now might also be a good time to check your roof ventilation and insulation.

Good Luck,
Tim
