I would add Bermuda to known locations in which all or the majority of homes have white colored roofs. Now in Bermuda they are all covered with an interesting Lime Wash/Paint for consumption purposes, but never the less I'm sure the cooling effects are noticed in the middle of the ocean! This information was gathered when my family recently took a vacation to the island. We (being in the roofing business) were astonished that every single house as far as the eyes can see were white! After a little questioning of the locals we arrived at the above answer. It is an interesting topic of discussion.

And thanks for the complement. We enjoy your blog as well.

My light colored metal roof makes a huge difference in the amount of heat buildup in the house. I just wish they made these things so you could flip a switch and change the color. That way in the winter I switch it over to black so it would collect the heat. BTW nice, informative blog. I can attest to this.
