Since the is roof biggest fixed structure of the house. The color of the roof has to fit the color scheme of the rest of the house. For example, if the color of the house is dark, then you might want to contrast that with a lighter color. If the siding is light, and the window frames dark, the trim light, you might want to consider a in the middle of dark and light color.

Usually window shutters, and doors are of darker color. Your job is to find a color scheme that brings all the colors together. 

 Also, be aware of the trees. Do trees cast a shadow on your house, making your house look darker? Not only do you want to look at the color scheme of your own house, but look at the most used color in your area.

 You want to choose a color that fits with the surrounding. Make sure not to duplicate your color scheme with someone near by.

 If the place you have is for commercial use, consider lighter colors for more serious space, like an office or hospitals. More bright colors for fun places like the zoo or a place to eat. Also consider the color scheme of the logo.

Are the light/dark colors moving horizontally? You have to also consider the climate of the place you are in. In Texas our climate color is sandy, sun drenched, etc.
