Are white shingles really cooler?

Hello,

I hope this is the right forum for this question.

I'm replacing a white tar and gravel roof with 30-year Gaf Timberline shingles. I'm deciding between "aspen white" and "hickory." Does anyone know if the house itself

will feel significantly hotter with the darker color?

I live in Southern California, but don't have central A/C. I haven't needed it up til now.

Thanks!
