That is pretty far from true, light colors reflect alot more heat then dark colors, in the summer this keeps the roof and the attic cool, allowing the insulation to stay cooler, in the winter dark colors let the snow melt sooner, snow acts as extra insulation, yes, snow can be insulation as it's better to have your attic just below freezing then it is to have it -20F.
