New roof- need suggestions!

We are having to get a new roof and our contractor said this was the time to change it up if we ever wanted to. What color would you do the roof? I dont like how brown everything is so we will likely change the trim color/garage at some point in the future.

We also have 2 sheds being roofed the same and siding replaced and painted so trying to match everything together, though painting the trim on the house will come later.

We live in Texas. Would charcoal/dark really be that bad for heat compared to the current brown?

Last picture is the options he sent us- Malarkey shingles. Pretty sure our current roof is antique brown or something similar.

He said doing a dark gray or black roof and painting the house white would look good but I just dont know if I want to commit to painting the brick.

Thanks!
