I did go with a dark color when I had new shingles put on my house, because it's the best looking when paired with a variety of exterior colors.
Unless your AC unit and ductwork are in the attic, as long as you're properly insulated, and have proper attic ventilation, it doesn't matter what color the shingles are.
The infrared you feel 'standing', isn't experienced by the insulation at your feet. Only the delta-dry bulb air temperature, ten-inches above the top of the insulation.
